2. 5.0 Ngur Bloat Beach (54 reviews)
   - Beach with the most white sand on the world
   Spent More than 3 hours Beaches
   
   
   I visited Ngur Bloat beach three times and every time I went there I was still excited the same! Neverending long white beach puts you into the peace, out of stress, so you can enjoy the beauty of nature, swim in light blue see, breath the fresh ocen air and chill out. If you are more active type of person, you can use beach volleybal field or play football simply on the beach, as me and my friends did. There is places nearby to buy food, moreover for very cheap fee, you can use bathroom, which is absolutely clean. I would recommend this place for everyone. Really worth to visit!! See more..

5. 4.5 Liang Beach (74 reviews)
   - Nice Beach In Traditional Atmosphere
   Spent More than 3 hours Beaches
   
   
   The Liang Beach is a nice beach to stop by while visiting Ambon. It lies in the north part of Ambon island, not too far from the Tulehu harbour. The view to the sea is fantastic, a good place for beach photography. This beach is mostly visited by the locals. Many small shops selling simple food and drinks are available. Public facilities such as shower and toilet are also available. You may need to ask the locals about sunbathing with swimsuit to avoid breaking the local customs. A lot of big trees around the location, nice shade from the sun. See more..
   
6. 4.5 Gunung Banda Api (62 reviews)
   - Steep & hard trek
   Volcanos
   
   
   Dont get tricked by the view from the bandaneira. The trek itself is quite hard, especially if you are first after few days. Cautions & problems 1) Tons of moving rocks below your feet makes you slipping and possible hurting your legs & feets. Find a stick, dont go alone. Way down is way more dangerous than up. 2) Dont go when its gonna be raining!!!! 3) I have cleaned about 30-40 nets with huge spiders on the way to the top, bdcause we were first after one week of no-climb. Take a stick and look above your head. 4) There are hundreds of mosquito, you can not stop if you dont have long trousers & sleeves. We could stop max for 10 seconds with shorts. Hike is 2 long hour upwards. Repellent doesnt work as you are absolutely wet even if in good trekking condition. 5) If its cloudy, you not gonna see anything from top 6) afternoon climb is more in the shade, but best is to go in the morning. Worst time is start at 9-10 PM. Be sure to take minimum of 1.5l water per person. Beware of falling rocks from person climbing in front of you. And enjoy, was great experience and view!!!

7. 4.5 Ngade Lake (39 reviews)
   - Best View for a lake
   Spent 1-2 hours Bodies of Water
   
   
   My breath almost stopped when I saw the view of this lake, Ngade lake. What makes this different and stunning is that it has view of LAKE, BEACH, ISLAND and SEA all at one picture frame..!! You need to go high to get all those in one, and there's a good small paved road, close enough from the beach main road, that can bring you up there. But, for the best perfect angle, its rather difficult, coz it's inside local's property. See more..
   
8. 4.5 Pasir Panjang Beach (31 reviews)
   - Like cornflour
   Beaches
   
   
   A fantastic beach. Clearly among the five best in Southeast Asia. Some have called the feeling and look of the sand as baby powder - my frist impression was like corn flower. The second good thing is that the local clear up the plastic garbage which sorrowly are destroying a lot of the other great beaches and snorkelling sites in Indonesia. See more..
