Likupang is famous for its unparalleled sea charm. Lihaga Island is located in Likupang District, North Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi. This uninhabited island is between Gangga Island, Talisei Island and Kinabohutan Island. With an area of around eight hectares, this island has the advantage of a fairly fine stretch of white sand, plus bluish green water. However, the beaches on this island were eroded due to weather factors.
Lihaga Beach has very white and clean sand. Apart from white sand, Lihaga Beach also has a diversity of underwater biota. There are also stretches of coral that are still growing and several birds stop around the beach
Therefore, if you have time, there's no harm in trying island hopping in Likupang. One tourist destination that can be visited for island hopping is Lihaga Island.
Called a “piece of heaven” in Likupang, Lihaga Island has calm and crystal clear sea water. That's why many tourists come to snorkel to enjoy the underwater beauty which is still very well preserved.
After that, tourists can sit back and relax on the very soft beach sand, while enjoying the charming sunset view. In fact, Lihaga Island is also very suitable as a place to stay.
