This
group of islands scattered across the Java Sea to the north of Jakarta offers a haven away
from the bustle of city life. Golden beaches fringed with coconut palms line the sea; the
surrounding waters are a paradise for snorkelers and scuba divers. The multi-colored coral
reefs are home to a phenomenal variety of tropical fish. The islands can be reached from
Tanjung Priok or Pasar Ikan (Sunda Kelapa) by ferry or by chartered boat. Among the
islands developed for tourism, with bungalows, restaurants, diving and sailing facilities
are: Pulau Bidadari, Pulau Ayer, Pulau Laki and Pulau Putri. Palau Tanjung near Putri has
an airstrip. |
