Magnificent cape
Magnificent cape with white soft powdery sand, water warm and nice for swimming . Location about 200 km from makasar so took about 5h drive . Now here the downside all day long comes noise from banana boat , and other watersport engine . So if you stay on beachfront bungalow you may find it rather annoying . Many locals visitor and they make camp everywhere and leave the trash after weekend camp .it was very beautiful cape I ever seen yet still need a lot of improvement in terms of facilities and service esp for foreign visitors.

Beautiful beach! However, choose the right time.
I visited Tanjung Bira two times, the first was in early October 2013 and the second was in the middle of December 2013. Overall, the beach is one of beautiful ones I have ever visited. The sands are pretty much look like powders and the water was very clear as well. There are a lot of guesthouses and resorts around the beach, and the prices are vary, start from a very cheap one until the pricy one. Based on my visits, October is a good time to visit Bira. The wind was okay, the weather was shiny, and the beach was very clean. The condition of the wind made it very nice to visit the surrounding islands (e.g.: Liukang, Kambing, or Selayar) In December, the wind was kinda strong, and it was also rainy, and the beach was not as clear as in October because the strong wind made a lot of things from the ocean landed and stumbled on the beach. It was not that nice. Besides, I heard a lot of hotels and guesthouses will close their service from December to March because the condition of the wind. The strong wind during this period will also make our travel to another surrounding islands rather unsafe, local leaders will also not recommend people to cross in some cases.
