| Sermata Beautiful Coast |
I will tell you about a wonderful
place which I have ever stayed for a long time. This name is Sermata Island.
Sermata is a remote island in southeast of Indonesia and it is located in
Mollucas province. It is one of Babar archipelago and becomes one of Southwest
Mollucas district, a new territory district which has just been established.
This
island is not easy to reach because it is in the center of widest and deepest
sea of Indonesia, Banda Sea. From Ambon or Kupang, you can only use ferry or smallboat
to go to there. If you prefer to choose ferry, you must wait for long time
because there is only one ferry which is operated in a month. It is a better choice
if you rent a smallboat rather than ferry because it will not waste much ti
me.
Even though the price is more expensive than the price of ferry ticket, sailing
by smallboat will make you easier when you travel to another place.

Sermata
is a tiny island, which only consist of no more than 10 villages. The number of
inhabitants is about 500 to 800 people in each village. Almost of them are
peasants and fishermen. They still use a very conventional equipment to work in
field or sea. Corn is the main commodity of this agricultural field besides cassava,
carrot, and other vegetables. Fan palm is also widely grown in this land. The
landscape of Sermata Island is very attractive. The large green forest and hill
surrounded by long white coast is a nice panorama of this island.
