Guitar Island
Guitar Island is an adorable island near the Long Island. The island derives its name from its appearance. Beware of the photo-shopped pictures promoting the myth that Guitar Island looks like a guitar having a hole in between depicting the sound hole. But actually the depiction of this island as a guitar is that the Island is adjacent to the small guitar island. So this Small Guitar Island (which looks like the headstock of a Guitar) & the Guitar Island (Which looks like the body of the Guitar) are joined by a sand bar (which acts like the fret-board) hence giving it a structure similar to a guitar.
Guitar Island is an uninhabited Island and no accommodation facility is available. Tourists need to halt for the night at Long Island to visit Guitar Island for a day trip. This island is reachable by a fiber boat from Long Island. The Boat leaves you near the tip of the island shore. From there you can walk along the long & narrow stretch of sand leading towards a beautiful beach. The water here has crystal clarity and the cool sea breeze gives a dismaying peace to the stressed mind. To enjoy the experience at this beach to its fullest, go in the morning, carry some snacks, water & your favorite book, and lounge lazily on the beach for hours.
