North Liang Beach, Sand beach in Maluku Tengah, Indonesia.
North Liang Beach is a sandy coastal strip on Ambon Island with a wide expanse of white sand fringed by coconut palms and backed by vegetation. The water is clear and shallow near the shore, with shells and small stones scattered across the seafloor.
The beach emerged as a known destination over the course of several decades, growing from a quiet village shoreline into a place that draws visitors. Local communities have shaped its development while maintaining its coastal character.
The beach serves as a gathering place for couples and families during evening hours, drawing visitors who come to watch the sun descend over the water. Social life here centers around these quiet moments by the shore.
Wear sturdy shoes when exploring the beach as the sand can be loose and uneven in places. Bring sun protection and plenty of water since the sun is intense throughout the day.
Snorkeling just offshore reveals small coral formations and tropical fish that many visitors miss because they stay only on the sand. The shallow water close to shore makes exploration accessible without boats or guides.
