South Sulawesi offers a variety of interesting destinations, especially marine tourism. If you want to enjoy marine destinations in South Sulawesi, Bulukumba is one of the areas that has attractive marine tourism destinations. One of them is Apparalang Cliff, which is located in Ara village, Bontobahari district, Bulukumba regency, South Sulawesi province.

Getting to Apparalang is very easy, because there are many road signs. From Makassar, you have to go to Bulukumba Regency with a travel time of approximately 4 hours. After entering Bulukumba Regency, you must follow the Bulukumba-Bira axis road. This main road is quite long with beautiful views. After traveling approximately 45 minutes, you will find a sign to Apparalang on the left side of the road. Turn left and follow the road signs. The road will get narrower. Entering the Apparalang area, forests and big trees will welcome you.

In general, when you hear the term marine tourism destination, you will imagine a beach with a stretch of sand. At Appalarang Cliffs, you will not find the beauty of white sand. There are only rows of steep cliffs and crashing waves. This combination actually makes it look even more exotic. Cliff jumping is a favorite activity for tourists, apart from snorkeling of course. Apparalang has beautiful coral cliffs that surround it. The sea water is clear with shades of turquoise green so anyone can see to the bottom.

From the top of the cliff you can enjoy the sea breeze which can refresh your body after a long journey. Still from the top of the cliff, you can immortalize the beautiful views of Apparalang. To descend the cliff, stairs are available for visitors. Under the cliff a platform has been built for resting. On this platform there is also a board that visitors use to make a beautiful jump into the sea. If the waves around Apparalang are calm, you can snorkel at this beach. The management provides snorkeling facilities. This area is also equipped with toilets and parking. Unfortunately, there are no restaurants in this area, so you have to bring your own food.
