NAKUPENDA

A sandbank is a small, temporary island made of sand, usually visible only during low tide. It's formed by the movement of ocean currents and tides. Sandbanks like Nakupenda are surrounded by clear, shallow water, making them perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. They often disappear underwater during high tide.
