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.

Waimarang Waterfall

Reviewed By am-there - Jakarta, Indonesia

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.
