Sanwinggrai

Indonesia

Sanwinggrai is a small coastal village in Cenderawasih Bay, on the north coast of Papua, Indonesia. A remote Papuan community facing the bay's islands, it is visited by expedition ships. Visitors experience village welcomes and local handicrafts, snorkel the clear waters over coral reefs, see the traditional fishing culture of the bay — where whale sharks gather around the platforms — and encounter life on New Guinea's little-visited northern shore.
