Sumba Island: A Beach with Mangroves and Stunning Sunsets

Sumba Island in Indonesia is home to the famous Walakiri Beach, known for its breathtaking sunsets. The beach is adorned with mangroves, creating a picturesque silhouette against the sunset. Located on the eastern side of Sumba Island, the beach is accessible from Waingapu Airport. The only transportation options are private cars or motorcycles, so it's recommended to either drive yourself or join a tour or hire a guide. Visiting with friends or a partner to capture memorable photos would be ideal. The beach features expansive tidal flats, and if you're lucky, you might capture photos with reflections on the water's surface.
