Famous for being filled with dancing trees in the east of Sumba is the fascinating beach called Walakiri. These mangroves are scattered around the shallow area of the water. This beach is a gem at dusk. If you want to catch these green trees, it is helpful to wear waterproof shoes before going into the sea. This is to keep you from walking on the beautiful and tiny starfish that comes out to play.

Tarimbang

One of the most popular beaches in the eastern region of Sumba is the beach of Tarimbang. The spectacular beach can be reached via savannas, villages, and roads full of rocks.
