Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

If you happen to be in Central Sulawesi, you may want to check out this beach!

It’s called ‘Pantai Tanjung Karang’ (read: Tanjung Karang beach)
 

It’s only some 45km away from Palu, the capital city of Central Sulawesi.

Drive towards Donggala, and look for ‘Prince John Diving Resort’.

Clear water. Awesome view of the surrounding mountains.
 

We didn’t have much time to spend at the beach, so we rented our flippers, life jackets and mask, and simply plunged into the waters!

How can we miss the experience!
 

Our rented boat didn’t go towards the middle of the sea. We went towards the right of the beach, and … even there, the colourful fishes and creatures we saw down under were already sooo nice! I can’t imagine how much more beautiful the world below would be if we went even deeper!

So glad I brought along my shorts and spare clothes!
 

[Emm … excuse us! We just had to do this couple jump shot! Haha. Photo was taken by my father in law =)]
 

Anyway, again I really feel the local government should do more for local places like this.

I mean, when we searched for the place, we had to ask around. There were no clear signages.

And when we found it, the ‘carpark area’ looked more like a slum. Seriously, I didn’t expect to see such a beautiful beach ‘behind’ the rundown fences.
 

If MORE attention could be given to develop, maintain and regulate places like this, I’m sure more would come and visit, and the locals would benefit from it, too.

(Note: When we visit any place of interest, let’s do our part and NOT litter anywhere, even if the place is already dirty)

…

INFO:
– Snorkeling equipments (mask and snorkel / a pair of flippers / life jacket): Rp15,000 each
– Boat rent (one hour) : Rp150,000
– There are toilets and washing areas by the beach
– They have fresh coconuts there too.

…

Anyway.

I look forward to exploring more of our beautiful Indonesia!

So much to see and experience!
