Sweet Water Lake, Paliem
A small spring-fed freshwater lake at Paliem, about 200 m from the sea at the foot of Waghcolomb Hill, reached by a path north of Arambol Beach. It suits a short walk and a rinse after the sea.

- 1 to 2 hours including the walk
- Walking
- Moderate
- Best time
- Morning or late afternoon, roughly November to March
- Tickets
- No entry fee is reported in the guides. Facilities are limited, and the lake is reported to need better upkeep, so do not expect much beyond a few cafés on the path.
