Batu Angus

Batu Angus is a distinctive coastal site in Kasawari, Aertembaga District, Bitung City, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Formed by lava flows from the eruption of Mount Dua Saudara that reached the sea and solidified into extensive black volcanic rock formations. The dark rocks contrast with the blue waters of the Lembeh Strait, creating a stark natural landscape that is a well-known local landmark and photography spot near Bitung.

Visitors can expect an open coastal landscape covered by extensive black volcanic rocks and boulders stretching along the shoreline of the Lembeh Strait. The terrain is rocky and uneven with no sandy beach area, offering views of the sea, distant Lembeh Island, and the contrast between dark lava rock and blue water. Areas to explore are limited to walking on and around the rock formations, viewing the coastline, and taking photographs. There are no large structures, with only simple local stalls and parking nearby.

Formed by the eruption of Mount Dua Saudara, also referred to as Mount Batu Angus, whose lava flowed to the northern coast of Bitung and cooled into dense black rock fields. The name Batu Angus means 'Burnt Stone', referring to the scorched appearance of the solidified lava along the shoreline.

Well-known local natural landmark for Bitung residents and a commonly visited coastal recreation site representing the volcanic coastal character of North Sulawesi
