Short walk down to the beach, beach is rather small but not crowded. White fine sandy beach surrounded with black and white rock formation. It has a secret cave under the huge white rock that if you crawl on your belly about 5 meter you will get a nice surprise. Great waves ....

I brought 3 kids (4,6 and 9 years) for just a visit as tourist, apparently my kids love the lagoon. Instead of only photo taking, we spent 5 hours here to enjoy and swim with the locals. Amazing torquise color of the water, friendly local kids, breathtaking views Please note when you go with family, please use local driver + guide to save your time of journey. The access to every spot is not that easy to reach.

We were stopping by for lunch by the beach. We brought our own foods. This hidden beach is still very quite. Many local kids and fisherman spend their time. Make sure you always bring hats, sunscreen and sandals.

Only a small walk to get to falls. Do wear sneakers for the walk as it can be a bit uneven. You don’t need to pay for a guide to take you falls as it is 10 minute walk to it. When you get there you can have a swim.

Not to far from the Waingapu city.. easy access, relaxing beach to just sitting around while enjoying the View. People also go here for photo taking at the mangrove next to the beach. Just make sure the timing of the riptide if you want to Take picture here. Besides that, the local provide a toilet to wash yourself (very rare in Sumba) Nice beach

Bring your best sandals as you will have to go through 20-30 minutes steep and slippery trail. But I can tell you it was worth every effort. The lagoon was deeply enchanting with its peaceful surrounding and blue color. Unlike Weekuri, Waimarang has its water from natural spring water. If you are an adventure-junkie, you can rock/wall-climb to get into the upper lagoon that is said to be even more gorgeous than the lower area. Let the local kids be your guide, but don't give them money. Give them imported candies or biscuits instead. Or even better you can bring them storybooks to read. Sumba is still underdeveloped and we don't want the nice kids to be materialistic and rude to tourists.
