One Dollar Beach (Pantai Satu Dolar) near Metinaro, East Timor, is a popular and easily accessible coastal destination, typically reached by a short drive (car or scooter) from Dili on paved roads. It's suitable for both solo visitors and guided tours, offering a safe and relaxed atmosphere, particularly during daylight hours. While enjoyable year-round, the dry season (May to November) generally offers the best weather for beach activities, avoiding potential heavy rains of the wet season. As its name suggests, the approximate cost for entry, if any, is minimal (often a symbolic one dollar or just for parking), making it a very budget-friendly option. Visitors typically spend a few hours to half a day here, enjoying swimming, relaxing by the clear waters, and soaking in the local ambiance. It's advisable to bring your own snacks and water, although local vendors may be present, especially on weekends.
