LEMBEH STRAIT
Lembeh Strait is a 12 km. long stretch of water separating Lembeh Island and the mainland. Bitung is actually the half way point along the shores of Lembeh Strait. This pristine section of water in North Sulawesi is home to many unique sea animals which include the pygmy seahorse, mimic octopus, ghost pipefish, as well as other larger species. There are several undeveloped beaches on the shoreline of Lembeh Strait which are excellent for swimming and snorkelling. Presently, Lembeh Island is undevloped and has no tourist facilities. |
