Gua Sarang
A group of swiftlet-nest sea caves on the southwest coast of the island. Hundreds of steps lead down to a rocky bay, and cliff viewpoints show blue water and islands.
Gua Sarang lies in the cliffs of the coast south of Iboih. It is named for the swiftlets that nest in the caves, as sarang means nest. From the clifftop car park, steep steps lead down to rocky shores and a small bay where you can swim and take photos. When sea conditions are good, you can rent a boat into the sea caves. The clifftop viewpoint is free, while entry or parking costs about IDR 5,000–10,000. The steps are tiring both ways, so bring water and sunscreen. The afternoon light is backlit, so mornings are better for photos.
