There is reasonable phone coverage and Internet via 4G & 5G in most of the populated areas on the Sapphire Coast. Most people have mobile access at the Seahorse Inn, and wifi is available for guests. On the Light to Light Walk and throughout Beowa National Park mobile reception is patchy and unreliable. If you plan to have no coverage, you will not be disappointed. Most guests enjoy the opportunity to really disconnect and be ‘off-line’.
