Batu Gong Beach

Batu Gong Beach (Pantai Batu Gong) is a coastal attraction in Watunggarandu Village, Lalonggasumeeto District, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, about 30 km north of Kendari. It is notable for a large coastal rock formation that produces a gong-like sound when struck, giving the beach its name. The beach features dark sandy shoreline, clear waters, coral formations and views of the Banda Sea, and is a popular local recreation area.

Visitors can expect a relatively natural black and brown sandy beach with clear shallow water and a prominent large rock formation near the shoreline that resonates like a gong when hit. The setting is open and coastal with views of the Banda Sea, scattered corals visible at low tide, and simple visitor areas with gazebos and food stalls. The beach is used for sightseeing, photography, wading and relaxing, with a quiet local atmosphere rather than resort development.
