Mentawak is a sheltered bay south of Juara that works best as a relaxed beach and snorkel stop. It is more about easy shoreline access, scenic views, and calm-water sessions than hard diving. The bay can still pick up weather and tide energy on the open side, so the best days are the calm ones. That mix makes it a good fit for low-stress water time and casual island use.
