Sumbawan

Sumbawan is a small, uninhabited island located in the Flores Sea, off the western coast of Sumbawa Island in Indonesia. It is part of the Sumbawa Regency and is known for its pristine beaches and diverse marine life. The island is approximately 10 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide, with a total area of about 30 square kilometers. Sumbawan is characterized by its steep cliffs, dense vegetation, and numerous small coves and inlets.

The island is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including several endemic species. The marine environment around Sumbawan is rich in biodiversity, with coral reefs teeming with fish and other marine creatures. The island's waters are also known for their clear visibility, making it a popular destination for snorkeling and diving.

Sumbawan is accessible by boat from the nearby town of Sape on Sumbawa Island. The island is not developed for tourism, and there are no facilities or infrastructure available for visitors. As a result, it remains a relatively untouched and pristine natural area, attracting only a small number of visitors each year.

The island's remote location and lack of development make it an ideal habitat for various species of birds, reptiles, and other wildlife. Conservation efforts are in place to protect the island's natural environment and preserve its unique biodiversity. Sumbawan serves as an important area for scientific research and ecological studies, providing valuable insights into the region's natural history and ecosystems.
