Follow The Flour, Folk! It’s Bira!

Living in Makassar means there’re two nearest places around that city to enjoy your weekend, which one you feel more interested. Visit Malino if you need fresh air from mountains village, or pack your sunglasses then go to Bira. Because it is dry season now and I (Jenny) love beach so much, we chose the second one. Here we go!!!

Welcome weekend!

Bira Beach, also known as Bira Cape, is a place where you can feel the flour on your feet. Are we kidding? We aren’t. That’s the most interesting point of this beach, because its white sand which really smooth as you feel it as flour or powder. Even because the beautiful sand people take them to home, as my Mom did when she was there ten years ago for her plastic flower bouquet and made it as the soil. Don’t worry people, we’re not took it to make some bread! LOL

Okay, back to the trip! Takes about five hours by car to get there, never close your eyes or fall asleep during the journey. On your way will through several regencies with different views, let’s say rice fields in Takalar, live view to Mount Lompobattang in Bantaeng, or salt ponds in Jeneponto. Good beginning for your eyes!

As every beach, most activities in Bira are about swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, and diving. With its very beautiful view, believe in us, you’ll never want to leave. So take your time! Afternoon is the best moment to enjoy Bira as the sun sets at the right side of the beach. Spend that time by playing volleyball and make sand castle. Or are you going with your lover? That would be sooo… romantic!

I know you’re on holiday but don’t wake up late, or you’ll miss how blue sky harmonized the turquoise sea in the morning! Yes, we back again in the morning and find how glorious the coast with banana boat and fisherman who just came back with – when you’re lucky – octopus! What about night? Don’t sleep earlier and bring your telescope, that’s stargazing time and enjoy the serenity!

Well, talking about beach never perfect without its underwater view. But we won’t tell you now as we’ll make that story as other part about. Yes, we owe you for that, and promise will update it soon. So keep reading and stay tune! Have a nice weekend!
