Santai & Namalatu Beach
Pantai Santai & Pantai Namalatu
Coral beaches at Latuhalat on the southwestern tip of Ambon Island. Reefs close to shore are ideal for snorkelling, and in the evening you can watch the sunset over the mouth of Ambon Bay.
Santai Beach and the neighbouring Namalatu Beach lie in Latuhalat village at the southwestern tip of Ambon Island. The coast is mainly coral reef with small patches of white sand, and the water is clear. Snorkelling to see corals and tropical fish is possible right off shore, and dive shops here organize shore dives. In the evening you can watch the sun set over the open sea beyond the mouth of Ambon Bay. Nearby there are small restaurants and guesthouses, and the beaches are busy with locals at weekends. The drive from the city takes about 40 minutes, so you can combine it with Gate Rock on the same day.
