Lots of tiny islands, cliffs, beautiful view and of course beautiful and unique marine ecology. There are few beautiful resorts that will provide you with nice accommodation, such as BlackSands Retreat, Dabirahe @ Lembeh Hills and Kungkungan Bay resort. These resorts will help you to explore the beautiful underwater world of Lembeh Strait. Getting here is very easy as it's connected by road from the capital of North Sulawesi, Manado. It's about one and a half hour ride from Manado to here.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6329505/0361edb0-aa58-4f3b-aceb-413709f64aac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![(Well, we're not at the airport, but all the other options for locations seemed to be businesses.)

This is the most populous city in North Sulawesi making this city as the capital city that has more than half a million inhabitants residing here. It's a friendly city serving as the welcome gate to the land of waving coconuts. Although it's not the most beautiful city in Indonesia, the city is ranked top 5 on human index development score in Indonesia. This city is messy but it is surrounded with amazing places like beautiful beaches, magnificent volcanoes, national marine parks, tropical rainforest, incredible natural reserves and ancient living historical places. Places to live? I personally suggest you to live in a beach or island resort for some incredible experiences. I suggest you to look it up on Tripadvisor for some reviews! How to get to North Sulawesi? - There are several domestic routes from Jakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar (transit Makassar) and other cities to Manado with Garuda Indonesia, BatikAir, LionAir, SriwijayaAir, and some other domestic carriages. - There is one international flight](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6142306/d75bae1b-0157-4446-80a2-de013f9f88aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium) ### Manado City Centre Manado City Centre is noteworthy for its seaside views, and you can make a stop at top attractions like Manado Town Square and Mega Mall.
