Bulukumba

Phinisi Boat Building Industry and

Tanjung Bira Beach Resort

As a district rich of natural and cultural splendors, Bulukumba offers more than just a single activity. After visiting the phinisi dock yards at Tana Beru, pristine white sandy beaches and calm waters will spoil visitors as they swim, play around or just lay their body into the care of the tropical sun. Its close proximity with Makassar makes it an ideal alternative destination from the capital city of South Sulawesi.

Far from the shore of Bulukumba, deep down below the surface, its waters offer wonders in its pristine marine park and biota. From the tiny islands of Kambing and Liukang, all the way to the nearby area of Selayar Island, the underwater paradise of Bulukumba is a treasure yet to be fully unveiled. Diving in the pristine water truly offers its own sensation, one that would match the excitement of Rajaampat, Bunaken or Wakatobi.
