Pantai Nambo

Pantai Nambo is a coastal beach in Kendari stretching about 300 meters of white sand along the strait, bordered by hills and mangrove forests. The water is shallow and calm, making it suitable for swimming, with dense vegetation providing shade throughout the shoreline.

Local authorities developed this location from a dense mangrove area into a public beach destination while preserving sections of the natural forest. This transformation created a recreational space accessible to residents of Kendari.

Local families come here regularly to swim and relax under the shade of trees, where vendors sell fresh coconuts and traditional snacks. The beach serves as a social gathering spot where people enjoy the water and pass time with friends.

The beach is reachable by car or motorcycle from central Kendari in about 30 minutes, or by traditional boat across the bay in 15 minutes. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer the most comfortable experience with fewer crowds and better visibility.

The shoreline offers views of fishing villages and mangrove forests that reveal traditional coastal living still visible from the beach. Nearby snorkeling spots with coral reefs provide a hidden water activity that many visitors overlook when planning their time here.
