Saleh Bay: The Hidden World Aquarium in the Heart of Sumbawa

Stretching majestically across Sumbawa Regency, Saleh Bay is the largest bay in West Nusa Tenggara, covering an area of approximately 1,459 square kilometers with a coastline extending 282 kilometers. Its beauty is not defined by size alone, but by the extraordinary richness of marine life it shelters. Millions of marine organisms thrive alongside pristine coral reefs, making these waters home to hundreds of whale sharks, the exotic icons that have earned Saleh Bay the nickname “The World Aquarium.”

Beyond its underwater wonders, Saleh Bay is adorned with dozens of uninhabited small islands that remain untouched and rarely visited. These islands offer serenity, crystal-clear blue seascapes, and truly authentic marine adventures. For nature lovers, explorers, and seekers of exotic destinations, Saleh Bay is a hidden paradise that deserves a place on every travel list when exploring Sumbawa Regency.
