Pasir Timbul Sandbar
Pasir Timbul
A white sandbar that surfaces only at low tide, surrounded by clear shallow blue water. It is a popular spot for photos and paddling in Raja Ampat.
Pasir Timbul means 'the emerging sandbar'. Located in waters near Mansuar Island and Kri Island, it reveals a thin white strip of sand only at low tide, surrounded by sea shading from pale blue to deep blue. It suits photos, sunbathing and shallow-water snorkelling. The sandbar is submerged at high tide, so plan around the tides. It is usually combined with charter trips to Mansuar, Arborek and other nearby spots. There is no shade, so use plenty of sunscreen and carry drinking water.
