Boat-access limestone wall on Selayar's east coast.
Pantai Pinang is a boat-access limestone wall on Selayar's east coast, known for gorgonian sea fans, soft coral, and a long drop-off that suits calm-water diving. It works well as a wall dive or relaxed snorkel/freedive stop when the sea is settled, with mild current along the face and steady fish life. Plan it as a guided boat day via Pattumbukan and favor the calmer western-season window.
