Sumbawa Travel Guide

Sumbawa, with the charm of a million natural beauty. Mesmerize the tourists to visit the island. In this island we can find a beautiful place, such as beaches, mountains, waterfalls, and others. Natural beauty of the island of Sumbawa has been visited by the tourists local and foreign.

Sumbawa is the vastest Goverment Regency in the West Nusa Tenggara Province. It's 8,493 Km2 and incorporates 38 small islands. The population is about half a million. The main island of Sumbawa is larger than Bali and Lombok combined. Its divided into three administrative districts or regencies that correspond roughly to the former sulatnates, Bima in the east, Sumbawa in the west and Dompu in the middle.

The general topography is hilly and mountainous although low level plains are to be found near the northern beaches. The main sights beside the beaches are the towns of Sumbawa Besar City and Labuhan Sumbawa a sleepy old port, now only used by the ferries departing for Moyo island . They are about 1 Hour by boat from there and have a good wild reserve.

The best beaches of the islands are found at Kencana Beach , Saliper Ate Beach and Saleh Bay , Poto Batu Beach and Maluk Beach

Bungin Island is the most densely populated island in the world, it is built from coral and sand and there is almost no vacant land. The island in habited by the bajo people.

About Sumbawa

Sumbawa is one of the 13,000 plus islands in the Indonesian archipelago. This site focuses on life in Sumbawa: its culture, history, language, politics, and tourism.

Sumbawa is a large island to the east of Bali and Lombok. It is part of West Nusa Tenggara along with Lombok. There are hundreds of small islands in this area in addition to the two major islands. Sumbawa really belongs more to Eastern Indonesia than to to the western part of the archipelago. The effects of Hindu and Buddhist cultures are minimal in Sumbawa (although there is a Balinese presence along the northern coastal area), and although the island is predominantly Muslim, the role of adat is still very strong.

The slogan of the Sumbawa Regency is: "B E S A R" which stands for BERSIH, ELOK, SEHAT, AMAN, DAN RAPI. The regional government's official website notes that Sumbawa still lacks sufficient medical facilities to support public health, in particular a lack of doctors and other health professionals. A public health center was recently opened in Sekongkang, but adequate treatment for a serious illness or accident requires a trip to Sumbawa Besar or Mataram, both of which require a journey of at least four hours minimum.

Sumbawa is divided into four regencies and one municipality. The regencies are: Sumbawa Barat, Sumbawa Besar, Dompu, and Bima. The municipality is Kodya Bima. The most recent census lists the population as being 1.1 million. There are two main ethnic groups: Bima and the Samawa.

The regional government has a six year plan (ending this year) for improving the lives of the island's residents. This plan includes: Health (improving health service quality including equipment and facilities), Education, Social Welfare (including reaching gender equality), Agriculture ( optimizing resources for improving agricultural products), Industry, Trade and Cooperation (developing an economic system that focuses on the fair market mechanism), Regional Finance and Capital Investment, Manpower and Demography, Public Works and Communication (improving transport and the use of water resources), Agrarian Matter and Landscape, Living Environment and Natural Resource (rehabilitating and conserving natural resources), Tourism, Art and Culture (developing tourism based on natural and cultural tours, as well as teaching traditional art and culture), Religious Life Teaching (improving religious life through teaching and providing praying facilities and by making the role of religious institutions and social organizations to be teaching about living in harmony with other religious people), Law and Society's Orderliness (creating safe conditions based on the supremacy of the law and human rights); Politic and the Efficiency of Apparatus (improving the quality of public service through responsibility and the quality of government institutions); Science and Technology (the application of right and useful technology).

In many respects Sumbawa can be considered remote. To get to Sumbawa from Bali most people take the ferry from Bali to Lombok, travel overland to the eastern seaport in Lombok and then take another ferry to Sumbawa, ending up in Poto Tano. From there transportation is somewhat problematic. There are buses that will take you on to Sumbawa Besar, the capital, or down the coast road to the south, but my experience has been that trying to get on a bus once you arrive in Sumbawa is somewhat difficult (see the Transportation page for more details). If traveling from Lombok, it is best to board a bus there that will take you to your final destination in Sumbawa. It is also possible to fly into the city of Sumbawa Besar on the western side of the island, and Bima on the eastern side of the island. A small airline called Tropical Air existed for a short while which flew directly to Sekongkan where I am located and where the surfing spots of Yoyo and Scar Reef are located.. We still have the airport, but flights have been stopped for an indefinite period.

Sumbawa is known for its great waves and sandy white beaches. Due to the somewhat trying process of getting there and the scarcity of cheap tourist facilities, the island is not visited much by non-surfing tourists which is unfortunate as the parts of the island that I have seen are quite beautiful. During the dry season (April to November) a lot of dust is blown up and around. Strong winds blow in off the ocean, and the lush green hills, mountains and valleys turn a dusty brown. When the rainy season begins an amazing transformation takes place and the island becomes a lush jungle once again.

The pace of life on Sumbawa is definitely slower than that in Bali. As most of the island is still developing, there is a very rural feel to just about everywhere that you go, including Sumbawa Besar, the capital of the western side fo the island. The mining company, Newmont, has a gold and copper mine down in the southwestern corner of the island around the villages of Sekongkang, Maluk and Benete. Their presence has speeded up the development process on this side of the island.

Sumbawa is one of the larger islands in the archipelago, and we only live in the southwestern corner. I've been to Sumbawa Besar several times, but only for short periods. Taliwang, about an hour north of us, is a fairly small place, but large compared to Sekongkang and Maluk. The largest city on the island is Sumbawa Besar, but that is a five hour drive from here. The best shopping is actually on Lombok which is the next island to the west.

Understand
Sumbawa really belongs more to Eastern Indonesia than to to the West. The effects of Hindu and Buddhist cultures are minimal in Sumbawa; the majority of the population are Muslims.

Get in

It is also possible to fly into the city of Sumbawa Besar on the western side of the island, and Bima on the eastern side of the island. Sekongkan also has the airport, but flights have been stopped for an indefinite period after a small airline called Tropical Air ceased operating.

8 hectares with an area inhabited more than 2800 people, Bungin could be the world's most populous island. The history, ethics of the fishing population, and the story of the goats in the paper to complete a unique coral island is.

"You certainly attracted to the story because there Goat eating paper?. Only in Bungin you can view it directly, and trust, "so said Indra, a village of Alas, Sumbawa District.

Few ask the residents in the village Alas, must lie directly indicated Bungin Island. Of land along the road in the Alas, the island Bungin be visible because distance is only about 4 KM from the north Alas.

Now, the island Bungin must not cross over with the boat, use a motorcycle or a car can also be because the embankment is made of fabric that connects Bungin reef with the mainland.
Stories about the Goat eating paper, are very attached to the image Bungin Island. Sounds really strange. But the scenery is something to be common for people Bungin.
Bungin goat in the food have no choice other than waste paper and cloth used. The texture of the rocks of the island is not possible for plants to grow, although the only grass.

Every visitor who came there to see the goats eat paper, dozens of elementary school age children will be happy to give instructions. They roll in search of paper or carton to be used on the goat herd.

House construction is typical Bungin houses, covering a broad shown evenly island. Because the solid, there are some houses that meet the roof.
Customary law on marriage Bungin residents, the reason that makes Island Bungin still able to accommodate the growing number of residents. Because in the customary law, the pair set teenagers who want to marry must build their own location to establish their homes.

Despite all the main population-eyed fishermen, residents of the island is quite well established. Far from the usual effects of poverty seen in the fishing villages in West Nusa Tenggara.
Almost all families have the electronics. Most have low television, complete with a digital receiver parabola.
In fact, children Bungin is not foreign to the Play Station. There are a number of rental lease Play Station there.
Needs of everyday people in there, also tolerable level. Because, except marine products, all other needs must be purchased. Start sembako, to clean water.
This is unique. Needs for day-to-day, fulfilling the women that.
