When
you heard about Green Bowl Beach, you may wonder why people call it that name.
Green Bowl or a bowl of green has the name is because when the low tide occurs,
it will form a kind of bowl of rock as you see the green of the hill
surrounding the beach. The beach has a clean and white sand. Apart from the
unique name, you may wonder about the number of visitors.
There is only a few visitors in the beach, about 25 per day. The reason is that because the beach lies in an isolated place. The beach is located behind hills and trees. You have to go through hundreds of steps descending from the hill top to the base of the area. Because of the difficult track to reach the place, there are only few tourists interesting in visiting the beach.
