Managed by Clungup Mangrove Conservation (CMC), it is notable for its clear water displaying three color gradations caused by varying depths and sunlight. The beach is part of a protected mangrove and coral reef ecosystem with limited daily visitors, requiring reservation and guided access to preserve its natural condition.
