Fun things to do in Bangka Belitung Islands Province

group of granite boulders by the sea that we love to call it "stonehenge by the sea". the formation is superb, especially if the sky looks cloudy but sunlight still penetrate in several places. an abstract scenery ... beyond our imagination!

said that "kelayang" is name of a bird that live in the forest of tanjung kelayang, long long time ago. i like the scenery of tanjung kelayang from the top of granite boulders off tanjung kelayang. the way fishermen anchoring the boats remind me with a scene in .... venice ;)

a secluded bay which situated about 500 m from tanjung kelayang [kelayang cape] beach. there are 'thousand' granite boulders along the way and nice scenery. i can not stop to take picture. including awaiting sunset here.
just be careful with high tide and do not enter private property.

Majority people's here working as fisherman, and that is why I could see there is many small fisherman boat landing on the side of the beach or pier.

I even get a chance to see 28 of fisherman boats are just finished build. Still brand new.
