Saleh Bay has an area of 1459 square kilometers, and its length reaches 282 km. This is a huge size, twice the size of the city of Jakarta. The bay is a semi-enclosed bay and the sea is directly connected to the Flores sea.
In the vast, shimmering blue sea, the bay is dotted with beautiful uninhabited islands, some inhabited by Bajo and Bugis fishermen, but most of the islands are uninhabited.
Moyo Island, famous for its beauty, is like a wave barrier for the Flores Sea. The island sits right at the mouth of the bay, with two small straits dividing it between the northern part of Saleh Bay and the main island of Sumbawa, and the northern end of a small island called Satonda.
Exploring this place, it’s like discovering a new beauty, landing on beautiful white sand, with beautiful grasslands, completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of life.
Because the waters are almost 95% enclosed, this is an ideal location for Whale Sharks to live, both in terms of the relatively shallow depth for them, and also the abundant food available for Whale Sharks in the sea of this bay.
There are many routes or locations if you want to visit this place. You can go through Sumbawa Besar, or to the Tarano sub-district of ai paya village and labuhan jambu village.
