Tanjung Kelayang Geopark

Could you imagine if a Stonehenge was ever built on the beach? Tanjung Kelayang Beach, located on the Belitung island, has been designated as the Indonesian National Geopark area. It provides a unique natural panorama of the sea in the form of granite rock towering above the sea. From here, you could also go to Batu Berlayar Island, which is located 15 minutes by boat from Tanjung Kelayang beach. Batu Berlayar island has the best panorama of white sands, towering granite stones, and shallow beach, which makes it a perfect place for snorkeling. You could see a variety of colorful fishes and several big starfishes on the coast.
