Mallusetasi district, Barru regency, South Sulawesi province, Indonesia.
To be able to enjoy the beauty of the white sand from
Dutungan Island, you have to travel here. And if you are from Makassar you need
approximately 4.5 hours with a distance of about 130 km and when you are from
the city of Barru you will need less time more than 1.5 hours, and if you

cross the sea for about 15 – 20 minutes by a small boat. The day’s activities
