A saltwater lagoon cut off from the open ocean by a wall of coral rock. Waves push sea water through the cracks, so the pool stays clear, calm and turquoise. It is the most photographed spot in Southwest Sumba.

Local tipGo early on a weekday: weekends fill up with local families. Bring water shoes for the rocks.
