Waisai & WTC Beach
Waisai / Pantai Waisai Torang Cinta
The capital of Raja Ampat Regency and the sea gateway to the islands. The ferry terminal, permit office and supplies are all here, and the seaside WTC Beach is ideal for watching the sunset.
Waisai lies on the south coast of Waigeo Island. It is the capital of Raja Ampat Regency and the first stop when you arrive by ferry from Sorong (about 2 hours). Visitors must obtain a Marine Park environmental fee card at the tourism office near the jetty, with the amount subject to official rates. The town has banks, supermarkets and a market, the last chance to stock up on cash, medicine and snacks before leaving for the islands. At the edge of town, WTC Beach (Waisai Torang Cinta) has a long jetty and shallow reef, where locals come to stroll and watch the sunset in the evening.
