Watu Maladong Beach
Pantai Watu Malandong
A white sand beach on the southwest coast, where black rocks shaped by the sea rise out of the shallows. At low tide you can walk among the rocks, and the scenery feels untouched.
Watu Maladong Beach lies on the south coast of Southwest Sumba Regency. Giant boulders carved by the waves are scattered across the beach and the shallow sea, and one of them, shaped like an island, has become a local landmark. The water is clear, the sand is soft, and apart from local herders and children, few visitors come, so it feels very unspoiled. The roads nearby are rough, so you need to hire a car or ride a motorbike to get there. The waves are strong, so take care if you swim, and there are no food or drink facilities.
