Next to the Tangkoko National Park is Batuputih, a small coastal village with a long, black beach, a shallow sea and an impressive range of fishing vessels, extending all around the wide bay. Just behind the thin range of dunes is the village itself, no more than a row of small houses and a few churches, but quintessentially Indonesian. And photogenic, of course.
