The type of sand on this beach is fine sand whose color is not so white. While the sea water is clear with the strength of the waves are quite hard. Although not as popular as Raja Ampat or other tourist spots in Papua, the charm of this beach is still enchanting. Especially if you come at sunset, when the sky starts to turn orange and starts to get darker. You can watch the view of the waves that are getting louder and faster sweeping the shore as the night progresses.

Trees grow well around it. This is also a picture of the ecosystem balance in the coastal area which is still well maintained. In addition, there are also several historical spots from World War II that you can find here.
