Discovering The Underwater View in The Eastern Part of Java Island

“The waves in this place are not so strong. This place also often use a snorkeling and diving spots. The panorama is also incredible. This island is called Tabuhan Island because the wind is quite strong especially on the southern side and sounds like percussion (tabuhan in Indonesian),” Surip, a local fisherman that also a travel guide, said.

Because this island is uninhabited and there are no freshwater spring, Surip recommended all the visitors of Tabuhan Island to bring provision from Bangsring Beach.

“People after swimming and playing usually feel thirsty and hungry, so you should bring provision from the land. Later, the garbage should be taken back to the land to preserve the cleanliness in this island,” Surip said.

To go around all of Tabuhan Island, it could take 20 minutes. You also could see remains of a building that was a lighthouse during Holland colonialism era.

The white sand beach, clear yet clean water, and flying bird could make you feel on a private island. You also could feel to stay on this island more.

“The panorama is really beautiful. The white-sands and all naturalness. It is perfect for you who like to travel to the beach. You could swim all the way you want just like on a private island. ” Sumarsono, a visitor from Banyuwangi who came with his friends, said.

He added: “The best way to come here is within a group. It will be more exciting.”
