Tinabo Island is one of the Takabonerate islands in the District
Selayar. I visited this island in during the event 2009 Takabonerate expedition . This island actually uninhabited, but by the government has been built cottages for environmentalists, particularly for the conservation of coral reefs. Tinabo island most often visited by researchers, students, nature lovers, divers, and
other observers of coral reefs.
The beauty of this island is hard to describe with words. I can only say that this is the most beautiful island I've been to. Clean white sand and very smooth. The sand is really white, not cream or yellow or light brown as in Bulukumba Bira beach, or Kuta beach in Bali. The island is small and you can surrounded in just minutes, not until one hours. Here the beauty of coral reefs can also be witnessed without the need to dive, because all there is around the island, and under the pier. Coral reefs
is planted, nurtured and preserved by the nature lovers. I myself for the first time saw the new the beauty of the coral reefs here. Not just the colorful coral reefs, but also colorful small fish are also many here and can be seen with the naked eye swam among the leaves of marine plants and coral reefs. Really amazing.
This island is preserved its beauty perhaps because it is situated quite far from inhabited island such as Rajuni. Not far from the island Tinabo this, there are also other uninhabited islands about one or two kilometers, where coconuts grow amid a hedge shrubs, similar to the wallpaper image on my computer screen. Pulau Rajuni is inhabited islands and the nearest island from Tinabo. Islanders of Rajuni island mostly Bugis people of Sinjai. Island Rajuni is also very beautiful, but because it was uninhabited, though not many, so marine life is not as good as the one on the island of Tinabo.
