been hidden. Not many people know the true beauty of this tourist attraction in
Belitung. However, since the advent of the film Laskar Pelangi, the true beauty
of Belitung has begun to be exposed. This has made Belitung one of the favorite
vacation destinations for travelers who want to explore the beauty of our
beloved country.
The
following are some of the tourist attractions in Belitung that must be visited
as tourist destinations while on vacation
1. Tanjung
Tinggi Beach
The first
tourist spot is Tanjung Tinggi Beach, a famous beach in Belitung which is used
as one of the filming locations for the film Laskar Pelangi. This beach is
located north of Belitung, exactly 37 km from the city of Tanjung Pandan. White
sand, clear sea water, and super large granite are the hallmark of this beach.
The waves at Tanjung Tinggi Beach are relatively calm so you can swim without
having to be afraid of being carried by the waves. On the beach, there are
stalls selling seafood to satisfy your hunger after playing water.
2. Tanjung
Kelayang Beach
The second
tourist spot is Tanjung Kelayang Beach, which is the famous beach after Tanjung
Tinggi Beach. What is special about this beach is Batu Kelayang which is the
mascot of Sail Wakatobi - Belitung 2011. Tanjung Kelayang Beach consists of two
parts, namely the west with granite clusters and the east in the form of
beautiful white sand. You can dive, swim, sunbathe, fish, and do a variety of
other water attractions on this beach
3. Lengkuas Island
Then, the
third attraction is Lengkuas Island. This island is in the north of Belitung
Island, you only need to travel about 30 minutes to cross to this island. The
interesting thing about Lengkuas Island is the lighthouse that rises high in
the middle of the island.
4. Punai Beach
The fourth
is Punai Beach located in the South East of Belitung, precisely in the village
of Tanjung Kelumpang. Unlike other typical Belitung beaches which have super
large granite stones, on this beach you will find white sand with small granite
stones and a calmer atmosphere. In front of this beach there is a small island
called Pulau Punai. Formerly, on this island there were lots of birds. To get
to this island you only need to walk if the water is receding.
5. Bukit Berahu
The fifth
tourist attraction is Bukit Berahu, this hill is a place of fusion between
restaurants and bungalows or villas on a beautiful beach in Belitung. Belitung
Bukit Berahu tourism is located close to Tanjung Tinggi. From the top of Bukit
Berahu, you can enjoy the beauty of white sandy beaches and clear blue sea. To reach
the beach in this bungalow, you have to go down 97 steps, so you should use
shoes without heels. Because the beach here is part of the bungalow, you can
enjoy the sensation of a private beach that you cannot find on other Belitung
beaches.
6. Sand Island
The sixth is
Sand Island. This island is actually a pile of land consisting only of sand.
When the sea water recedes, this pile of sand will form like an island.
Meanwhile, during high tides, this whole land will sink under sea water. The
island is not very broad, only as big as half a soccer field. At low tide,
there are a lot of tourists who stop by on this island by using a fishing boat.
You will be amazed by the scenery on this island, because the island is
adjacent to other islands.
7. Penyabong
Beach
Then there
is Penyabong Beach. Penyabong Beach is a beach located in the Membalong
District, South Belitung. This beach is also known as Batu Lubang Beach. The
natural beauty of this beach is almost the same as the beauty of Tanjung Tinggi
Beach, with granite clusters scattered on the beach. The difference is, the
granite on this beach is connected and elongated, protruding toward the sea so
that it forms like a pier naturally. The waves here are not too large so it is
safe to swim, the beach water is also clear with soft white sand.
8. Kaolin Lake
Then the
eighth is Kaolin Lake. This lake is actually not a public tourist spot, but
many photographers want to know the potential of photography here, so there are
several travel agents that provide tour package services to these tourist
attractions in Belitung. Kaolin is one of the riches of mining on the island of
Belitung. The beauty of this place is the combination of blue lake water and
white kaolin. The view here is almost the same as the view of the White Crater
in Bandung.
9. Nyiur
Melambai Beach
Ninth is

District, East Belitung. This beach is one of the beaches frequented by
