Gaya Island is located at the Police Bay. Over 400 meters of white sand gently slopes out to the sea making Police Beach an ideal place for swimming and snorkelling in crystal clear water. The coral reefs along the entire coast of the island are in excellent condition. The bay is nicely secluded, and the beautiful white sandy beach provides an excellent spot to relax after dives around the bay. Staghorn corals are predominant at depths from 10 to 20 meters and the terrain gradually slopes to a sandy bottom. Densely populated with small reef fishes, wrasses, nudibranchs and stingrays and if tourists are lucky, they may spot the odd lobster scavenging for food on the sandy terrain. Whale sharks have been seen just outside the bay which makes Gaya Island a dive destination underestimated by many tour operators and dive companies.
