Tidung Island, Jakarta

Tidung Island, later called by the backpacker Indonesia as the New Paradise, is the largest island among the group of islands in the Thousand Islands. The island is already inhabited by people since the Dutch colonial era. In the book History of Jakarta mentioned that when Fatahillah invaded Malacca, he and his troops to use the existing islands in the Bay of Jakarta as a place to set the strategy. One of the island was named "Tidung" which means shelter.

Tidung Island is the center of Pulau Seribu District. The island is inhabited by more than three thousand head of the family. Most of the inhabitants are fishermen.

To the east of the island there is an island named "Small Tidung." Now both of these islands are connected by a wooden bridge that is very beautiful. We can down the bridge, looking down the clear sea with stunning coral reefs and colorful fish. The length of the bridge about 2 miles. Around the bridge there are several fish cages owned by local fishermen.

Small Bridge connecting Tidung Island

Although not a tourist island, the island is very comfortable to be used as place of recreation for the people who want to enjoy the atmosphere of the island with a low cost. Clear ocean water and white sand beach, is very beautiful to be enjoyed. Enchantment of the sun in the morning and evening is the beautiful scenery every day. So do not be surprised if the backpacker call this island as a new paradise for lovers of community tourism.

Swimming and fishing on the island is very pleasant. Visitors can fish on the pier, bridge, or rent a fishing boat. Diving and snorkeling can also be exciting activities on the island. Especially now widely available equipment rental plus snorkeling and diving guides and small boat.
