Wera Mean Beach
Saturday, October 07, 2017 The next destination we visited in Adonara after Meko Island was Wera Mean Beach or mostly known as Pantai Pasir Merah. It means red sand beach (pantai=beach, pasir=sand, merah=red). As the name suggests, the uniqueness of this beach lies in its unique sand color. Unlike most beach sand that is white or pale cream, the sand on this beach is reddish. There are also some black magma stones from the past eruption of Mount Ile Boleng, not so far from the beach.
It wasn't easy at all to reach there. We needed extra efforts to reach the beach. First we needed to pass through a narrow rocky road. Our car must stop a few times either because there was a hole, a big stone, or because there was a car from the opposite direction. After passed that road we went into narrower sandy road. Not just there, after we parked our car, we needed to hike some hills and valleys to finally got to the beach. So exhausted indeed, but all the tired feelings were replaced when we were on top of the hill. We could see very beautiful scenery from above.
While we walked to Wera Mean Beach, we discovered another beach, it was a white sand beach, covered with more black stones. (I forget the name, sorry :D)
Unfortunately, by the time we arrived the sand wasn't too red. We got there at 5.00 P.M, i was told by locals that the best time to visit this place is actually between 10 A.M -1 P.M, when the sand is so red. I was a bit pissed, but after all it was still a great adventure. Another experience is achieved.
