Feel like a private island, Balak island, Pesawaran, Lampung

Balak Island
If you a person who likes a place which is quiet and cozy so visit this island. In this island, you can do snorkeling, fishing and more. There are so many coconut trees along the shore and you can take the young coconut if you can climb it. Note it that the young coconut is for free as long as you take it by yourself. In front of the cottage, there is an old harbor where we can sit and enjoy the sunset at the evening. Because of the distance, this island is rarely visited by people but this thing that makes this place special!
Unique and awesome are words for this island. This island is about 200 hectares and has two different types of shore. At west you can see corals dominates the shore and in another side you will find white sand beach as long as you see. The white sand seems like a long mat that invites you to lay down on it. 

Build your tent!
To reach this island is so easy but it takes a bit your time. From Bandar Lampung, you need two hours to go to Ketapang harbor, then you go to Balak island by renting a boat. You will around 2 hours on the boat sp prepare some drink and snacks with you. During this time, you can see the views of  Lampung bay and pass some popular spots. They are Mahitam island, Kelagian island, Pahawang islang and Tanjung Putus island.
Having reached the island, its better to sleep in a tent to "feel" the nature there. Balak is a word from Lampung language means big. Yes, it is because the island is quite big. If you like trekking, you can try to climb a hill which is located in the center of the island. You may see some monkeys there. When you want to enjoy the sunset, just sit on the harbor and the sunset will greet you for sure. So, enjoy the nature there guys! see this island
