Southern coast

Along the southern coast of West Timor there are a number of beaches, of which most are empty, without visitors of tourist facilities. One of the nicest is Kolbano beach, which consists of a long stretch of beach covered with coloured pebble stones on a sandy underground. Since there are few rivers flowing into the sea, the seawater is very clear and blue. There is a lack of tourist facilities (hotels, restaurants) in the area. Right behind the southern coast there is a mountain range which runs parallel to the coast and quickly climbs to 700-800m of altitude.
