The Nuance
For the information, Bitila is an uninhabited island. The size is even smaller than the others! It has a triangle shape and is surrounded by light-brown shorelines. Also, it comes with shallow shores, where tourists can enjoy swimming safely. It is because big waves won’t reach the island so everyone can conduct water sports without problems. What is more? The next recognizable feature is the presence of small trees and bushes that grow in the midst of the island. One thing, no facilities are available there.

Exploring Bitila Island
The first allure that tourists can enjoy in Bitila Island is related to history. It is said the island is closely related to Botohuwato pr Batu Buaya Beach of Kramat Village. According to the locals, the island was formed due to a mystical wood carried by the youngest son of King Bilalea. This young boy was abandoned by his big brother back then. Somehow, the wood turned alive and became an island! The name of the wood was Kayu Bitila, actually. Tourists can gather information regarding this story from the locals later.

Well, aside from learning history, people can do other things in Bitila Island. For example, snorkeling and diving are quite recommended! Thanks to the shallow sea and excellent clarity. It feels like snorkeling in a giant aquarium, in fact. The only disappointment is that the number of corals is not as many as others.
