Weekuri Lagoon
Danau Weekuri
A natural saltwater pool separated from the sea by limestone reefs, with crystal-clear, emerald-green water. It is the most photogenic spot on Sumba Island.
Weekuri Lagoon lies on the northern shore of Kodi in the southwestern West Sumba Regency. A coral-reef limestone ridge separates the Indian Ocean from the lagoon. Waves seep through the rock crevices, forming a calm, crystal-clear saltwater lake. The deepest point is about 3 to 5 m, and wooden platforms and boardwalks along the shore allow for jumping in and swimming. Climbing the rocks next to it brings you to the rough open sea. A small entrance fee and parking fee apply. There are simple changing shelters and snack stalls. The lagoon is about a 1.5-hour drive from Tambolaka Airport. Local people come in large numbers on weekends, so going in the morning is recommended.
