What do you imagine when they are on the spa with the sound of the waves and the smell of sea water? Sure it feels like to linger. So did you feel when in Tanjung Bira.
Soft white sand and very tempting. With bare feet on a warm afternoon walked the beach not far from the inn was very pleasant. Not just white, clean, sand here is very delicate and distinctive aroma beach issue. It was like being in a salon with the best service scrubbing.
When in many coastal reefs and rocks often disturbing breadth of our view, not in Tanjung Bira. As the fence is orderly and know yourself, the rocks lining the beach far left, standing upright, sturdy. The layout that is rarely encountered as we know very well how this beach must indulge a human. Be we are just setting foot in the softness of the sand and face the sea like infinity pool.
Sure enough, it's a beach with rocks at the foot of the tourists are generally not preferred. Also hard to swim. It's Beach at the tip of South Sulawesi is providing its own charm.
If you do not want to linger stood staring at the beautiful beach, try to dive into the amazing crystal clear water, dive into the waves quiet swing slowly and splashing our bodies. Believe me, being in it makes us not want to move.
The smell of the beach is cool, beautiful sky, blue ocean and white sand would tempt anyone to float away and follow the waves of the wind. So did mine. With the tires being rented me floating with the flow. Unfortunately time is fleeting, it was getting dark. I had to leave the beach to wash up and leave the mindless fun.
But there are forgotten, where the sunset?
Well, if that sunset is not I meet, I will hunt sunrise tomorrow. Tenderness of sunlight on two events of the day at the beach was always charming.
Alarm clock wakes me up in the morning at 04.00 pm. My immediate tenteng camera, sitting on the porch waiting for the sun peeking inn human life on earth. Ah, until 0600 I did not encounter too. Apparently stymied island sunrise. He appeared behind the island on the horizon there. It certainly did not dampen the pace immortalize the beauty of Tanjung Bira in the morning.
Blue skies, cotton clouds that burst and scatter, fishing boats coming into view of the morning. Horizon in the head so vast.
All boats used fishing boats are homemade, aka the original production of Indonesia. Honestly, Bulukumba City (41 miles from Tanjung Bira) is the city's largest producer and best pinisi ship in the world. If you want to Tanjung Bira, Makassar will pass through the sights of crafters pinisi ships of various sizes. From the size of the passenger 10 persons up to giant size with a capacity of hundreds of people.
Prior to Tanjung Bira, a moment I approached the craftsmen who were making ships pinisi. With typical Bulukumba sarong, one of the pilgrim ship owners indicate that they use spikes. A nail made of wood with a size of nearly selengan. Simple but very valuable.
After capturing some point the beach, I do not want to linger longer to bathe and frolic in the sea. In front of the inn big rock formed like a cliff. I fell up the stairs. Again the white sand at the bottom tempt me to dive. Not to mention the children march around my fish. Morning an unforgettable beauty.
