🏝️ About Orange Island – A Hidden Gem
Orange Island (also known as Giftun Orange Bay or simply Orange Bay) is a small sandy islet located within the Giftun Island National Park. Its name comes from the warm golden-orange hue of the sand at sunrise and sunset. The island is uninhabited and protected, meaning the beach is pristine and the water crystal clear. The shallow lagoons around the island are perfect for wading and taking photos. While on the island, you can relax on the powdery sand, swim in the refreshing water, or simply soak up the sun. The area is also home to many seabirds.
