Pantai Nirwana (Bau Bau)

The Bau Bau marine site is located in the south of Buton Island. As this site is on Buton Island, it requires less travel to get to than the Hoga site, and all travel is overland from the airport, or the forest camps. The site itself is based on cliffs, overlooking the sea and a white sandy beach. Accommodation at this site is in shared rooms with stand up showers and flush toilets. There is a restaurant area as well as a small shop which sells snacks and drinks. In addition, there is a lecture theatre where the Coral Reef Ecology course and regular scientific talks are presented, as well as a small medical clinic.
