There's a beach in Belitung whose name instantly evokes nostalgic smiles, Laskar Pelangi Beach.

Originally, this beach was just one of many beautiful beaches in Belitung. But everything changed in 2008 when Riri Riza and Andrea Hirata's film Laskar Pelangi shot several scenes here. Since then, the beach suddenly became famous. People come not only for its waters but also to witness firsthand the birthplace of that story about dreams and friendship.

Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by crystal-clear green seawater and rows of massive granite rocks characteristic of this island. Their shapes are unique—some towering high, others resembling natural sculptures carved by time.
