The Blue Lagoon lies just around the corner from Padang Bay and is rather imaginatively named since it is neither blue nor a lagoon. It is actually a small bay with a steep white sand beach, located just a tiny bit north-east of Padang Bay. The steepness of the beach means there are waves. The topography is not spectacular: white sand bottom, which slopes gradually down to 22 meters. It has scattered rocks, soft corals and a huge area of Staghorn Coral. There is a large Napoleon Wrasse that lives here, several kinds of unusual reef shark, stonefish, moray and blue ribbon eels, nudibranches, rays, squid and octopus, Leaf Scorpionfish in every hue, Stargazers.

Depending on conditions, it is recommended to dive here at night when you can spot several unusual nocturnal species. It's a protected and shallow, patchy reef of scattered staghorn corals and hydroids. Its unremarkable nature belies the potential for unusual sightings such as stonefish, octopus and eels.
