This beach is widely known for its beauty. The clear blue sea, white sand and peaceful atmosphere make many people feel at home on holiday here. To reach it, you can take a boat from Bali or from Lombok. Oh yeah, you already know that there are no motorized vehicles on this island, right?
4. Derawan Islands, East Kalimantan
This area, which can be reached from Berau, East Kalimantan or Tarakan, North Kalimantan, deserves to be the most beautiful tourist destination in Indonesia. The sea here is very clean, rich in coral reefs, and is a turtle habitat. The island that is the favorite of travelers here is Maratua Island.
Apart from Maratua, there is Kakaban Island which is also beautiful. If you visit Kakaban Island, you can find a rare jellyfish habitat. Uniquely, they won’t sting, so they’re safe to swim around. But, don’t lift them to the surface of the water, ok!
5. Pulau Weh, Aceh
Located at the westernmost tip of Indonesia, Pulau Weh is also known as Sabang. There are three beaches you can visit on this island, namely Anoi Itam, Gapang and Iboih. If you’ve been here, you definitely don’t want to go home because it’s so beautiful and peaceful!
Apart from the beach, you can also visit the Pria Laot waterfall on this island. Even though the road to this place is quite smooth and tiring, it is guaranteed that you will not regret it after seeing the beauty of the waterfall.
6. Belitung Island, Bangka Belitung Islands
This island, which became popular after being the scene for the movie “Laskar Pelangi”, does have charming beaches, one of which is Tanjung Tinggi Beach. Here you can find many large natural stones that add to its beauty.
7. Tomini Bay, North Sulawesi
The clear sea water and the beauty of the underwater habitat will amaze you! For those of you who like diving or snorkeling, you really need to come here. You can see Salvador Dali and Blue Sea Fan corals, which are only three in Gorontalo, when you dive in Tomini Bay.
Not only underwater biota, if you visit Tomini Bay around February to April, there is a good chance that you can see dolphins swimming freely here.
