These Are the 7 Best Beaches in Indonesia, Beyond Bali

"On secluded Sumba, this dramatic beach requires a steep cliffside descent but rewards visitors with expansive sand, striking rock formations and very few crowds; along the approach you may encounter locals cooking nasi jagung amid cornfields, and the bay is best enjoyed at low tide when there’s ample space and the otherworldly geology is most accessible." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Almost went here because of the unique rock formation but due to the earthquake 5 years ago, the rock is no longer there. So if you want to go here for the rock, better find other beaches, esp if you’re short on time

If there is one tourist destination you should not miss when you visit Sumba Island, it is the Bawana Beach. This is one of the most beautiful beaches. The track leading to the beach is high, steep, and slippery. Must tread carefully. There are young kids who will offer the assistance for going down the track, but they will ask for some money in return.

Mbawana Beach, A must place to visit when you are travelling to Sumba Island. The road to this beach quite difficult especially when rainy day. According our experience, the best time to take photo on this beach is afternoon until sunset. Be careful when you take photo with drone, because it is very windy.

Very beautiful beach, still virgin, not so crowd, perfect place for photo shoot. The way to come here a bit confusing as it's new road because the old road terribly broken. Local people act as a guide whom will show and help you to through down the cliffs to the beach.

Great place for photography, the sky is blue the ocean is clean and emerald colour. But the path is really steep and slippery, better prepare your tracking shoes.

actually the beach is very nice especially at sunset. the beach is clean with fine white sand. but to reach the location it is necessary to struggle because it has to pass steep and slippery cliffs. when I arrived, this hollow stone had collapsed, so there were rocks piled up on the shore.
