Bangka-Belitung Islands
The most beautiful beaches can be found on the Bangka-Belitung Islands. It's difficult not to linger on the beauty of its impeccable pristine beaches, blue waters, and natural granite rock structures. After the success of the Indonesian box office film Laskar Pelangi or Rainbow Troops, this island is now determined to become one of the world's best Geoparks.
The virgin beaches have yet to be tainted by the influx of heavy tourism-driven traffic that would detract from their pristine beauty. Bangka-Belitung has a well-developed road network that connects the main islands' coastal and inland areas. The island has a number of large seaports, the majority of which are on the Bangka coast. Domestic air service is available at Pangkalpinang and Tanjungpandan. Tourism is expected to act as a catalyst in spreading knowledge and awareness of this one-of-a-kind natural wonder.
