Sulamadaha Beach
Pantai Sulamadaha
Ternate's most popular beach, with black volcanic sand and crystal-clear water. Nearby Sulamadaha Bay is ideal for snorkelling and boating.
Sulamadaha lies on the northern coast of Ternate Island and is where locals most often head at weekends: black volcanic sand, clear turquoise water, and a view of Hiri Island in the distance. About a 10-minute walk from the beach is a small bay enclosed by rock walls, Teluk Sulamadaha, with calm, transparent water that is perfect for snorkelling among corals and tropical fish. Small boats and snorkelling gear can be rented. There are snack stalls serving grilled fish and coconuts. Entry and parking fees are roughly 10,000 to 20,000 rupiah, and it takes about 30 minutes by taxi from the city.
