Tiang Bendera Beach

Pantai Tiang Bendera

A rocky beach near Ba'a, where a flagpole commemorating the Rotenese struggle for independence stands on a reef. It is a favorite leisure spot for capital residents.

Tiang Bendera Beach lies in Badale village, about 5 km east of Ba'a. A concrete flagpole roughly 2.5 meters tall stands on the rocks by the sea, commemorating local people who raised the national flag during Indonesia's independence struggle. The beach alternates between white sand and rocky outcrops, and at low tide you can walk out onto the reef flat. In the evening, locals come here for a stroll. It is about a 10-minute motorbike ride from Ba'a and makes a convenient stop on the way to or from the island.
