When defining the geographical characteristics of Indonesia, the epithet "sama" has to be used all the time. The largest state on the planet, located on the islands, is only a small part of what the republic is famous for. By the way, the answer to the question of which seas in Indonesia can be classified as "most" developed, because even a simple listing will take a lot of time.
Geographic details
If we try to briefly answer the question of which sea washes Indonesia, it is enough to name only two oceans - the Pacific and the Indian. The detailed answer will look like this:
- The Andaman Sea is located in the north of Sumatra.
- The Strait of Malacca serves as the border between Sumatra and the Malacca Peninsula.
- The Java Sea separates the islands of Java and Kalimantan.
- The western part of Borneo is washed by the South China Sea.
- The Banda Sea is located off the southern coast of Sulawesi and separates it from East Timor.
- The Timor Sea washes part of Indonesia, located on the island of East Timor.
- The Arafura Sea is "responsible" for the southern shores of those territories located on the island of Papua New Guinea.
- The Philippine Sea is located north of Papua and the Molluk Islands.
In short, the seas of Indonesia are a whole list of exotic and warm bodies of water that thousands of travelers, brought up on adventure books and mysterious treasure islands, dream of seeing so much.
Beach vacation and not only
Of all 18 thousand Indonesian islands, Bali is perhaps the most popular among Russian tourists. It is here that the best hotels and resorts are located, where you can afford complete relaxation and rest, which can rightfully be called paradise. The water temperature on the Balinese beaches is always kept around +27 degrees, providing comfortable swimming, and the white soft sand and the perfect aqua color allow you to arrange flawless photo shoots. By the way, this fact is one of the most important reasons for organizing wedding tours in Bali.
For those who enjoy an active holiday, the seas of Indonesia offer a great chance to surf and dive. Those wishing to find themselves on the crest of the longest wave find it on the east coast of Java, and fans of solitude with their favorite board prefer wild and empty beaches in the western part of Lampung.
The coral reefs of Indonesia are a paradise for diving enthusiasts, as more than a quarter of the entire “population” of the ocean fauna lives here. The variety of species and ideal diving conditions are the reason for the high popularity of diving tours in the seas of Indonesia.
