Busung Sand Dunes
Explore a unique desert-like landscape of white sand dunes, perfect for striking photos.
Description
Busung Sand Dunes is one of the most unique natural destinations on Bintan Island. Located adjacent to Blue Lake (Telaga Biru), this place was once a sand mining area that has now transformed into an expanse of white sand hills resembling a small desert. This unusual scenery makes it one of the most popular photo spots on the island.
The undulating sand hills combined with the bright blue sky create a dramatic backdrop for photography, video shoots, or simply enjoying a different natural atmosphere. Many visitors come to experience walking on vast sands without having to travel to the Middle East.
The best time to visit is in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the scorching heat. It is advisable to bring head protection, drinking water, and comfortable footwear if you wish to explore further.
Access to Busung Sand Dunes is very easy as it is located on the main road and is only about 20 minutes from the Lagoi area or 45 minutes from Tanjungpinang. There is no official entrance fee, but parking is usually available with a voluntary contribution for cleanliness and maintenance.
This place is highly suitable to combine with a visit to Blue Lake due to their close proximity, making it a favorite route for nature and photography enthusiasts.
