💡 Tips

Visit Batu Belimbing in the late afternoon; the bizarre granite formations look best in the golden hour light.
Rent a scooter in Toboali to flexibly explore the various rock formations scattered along the coastline.
The coastal sun is very intense; be sure to wear a hat and use plenty of sunscreen.
Start your morning at a local 'warung kopi' (coffee shop) to experience the authentic Toboali lifestyle.
Pay attention to the tides; many of the granite outcrops are easier to access and photograph at low tide.
