Pulau Sawi

Here it is, another interesting tourism object: Sawi Island. Sawi Island is a tourism object which is located in Sungai Tengar village, Kendawangan; it is about 80 kilometer from Ketapang. To acsess this object is easy. We can go by bike, car, or bus to Sungai Tengar. From Sungai Tengar, we continue our trip by water transportation such as klotok (a kind of traditional boat) along the beach of Sungai Tengar. After an hour, we will arive in Pulau Sawi.

The scenery of the beach in Pulau Sawi is realy wonderful. That is why people usually call this island as Pulau Bidadari or Angel Island. White sand of the beach which is glowing under the sun shine and the deep blue sea is  giving a wonderful view for every eyes. The coconut trees which grow along the island make the island be more exotic.

Beside the beauty of the scenery, Pulau Sawi also has another uniqueness. Pulau Sawi is one of the habitat of some kinds of penyu or turtle, such as penyu belimbing (dermochelys coriacea) or Leatherblack Turtle and penyu hijau (chelonia midas). Many activities we can do in Pulau Sawi. We can swim, fishing, camping, tracking, diving, or just sit on the beach while looking at the woderful view of the beach and enjoying the great scenery of the sunset.
