Sweet Ambon - Ambon Manise

During my visit to Ambon, I got a chance to come by to their beautiful beaches. The first beach which I visited was Liang beach or Hunimua beach in Maluku island. The crystal clear water with a white sandy beach, a magnificent gradation of the blue color shows the deep of the sea with beautiful mountain as the background and white cloud on the sky created a very peaceful and beautiful scenery



There were some simple foodstalls on the beach if you need any food or drink, you could enjoy the beach by sitting on the soft white beach sand under the tree shelter. You also could bring food from home to eat together with friends. It's not too crowded at that time, some traditional small boat were also available for rent to bring you sailing through the sea. It's already noon time when I arrived there, so it's very hot and too shiny to ride the boat.


I didn't get bored at all to see all the spectacular scenery, taking some pictures to record the feeling and experience. Watching children jumping from the pier to race getting the ball on the sea, some of them were swimming on the beach, and a cute small boy was playing on the sandy beach while their parents having lunch on the mat under the tree shelter.


The time was ticking, my driver informed that we had to go back to the hotel soon, as we had to catch the flight. On the way to the hotel, we still had a chance to stop by at Natsepa beach. Its popular for rujak (various fresh fruits with peanut sauce mixed with palm sugar), so many seller foodstall along the pedestrian street on the beach. The beach was more crowded, there were many water sport such as jetski, banana boat, etc.


It's very cloudy when we arrived, the wave was harder than Liang beach. We sat in the hut drinking a young coconut ice while waiting for rujak. Suddenly it's raining very hard, all the benches became wet, the seller dropped the plastic shelter to cover us from raining. Rujak was served on the small plate with a toothpick for eating. It tasted very nice, fresh and yummy with many amount of peanuts.


If I had more time, I would stay longer on this beach to enjoy it. I'll go back someday to Ambon, the beaches were naturally beautiful and still virgin. There were some hotels on the beach, so you could stay there if you would like to play around the beach. For transportation, you'd better rent a car, because taxi was very rare and public transportation was not covered all destinations.
