Is Biduk-Biduk Beach safe for swimming and families?
Biduk-Biduk Beach is generally considered safe for swimming and family-friendly, featuring calm, shallow waters protected by offshore islands. The gentle waves and gradual slope make it suitable for children. However, always exercise caution during high tide or rough weather conditions. Local boat traffic can be present as fishermen use the area, so supervise children closely. The white sand beach is clean and well-maintained. As with any beach, avoid swimming alone and check local conditions before entering the water.
When is the best time to visit Biduk-Biduk Beach?
Biduk-Biduk Beach can be visited year-round due to East Kalimantan's tropical climate, though conditions vary seasonally. The dry season from April to October typically offers the best weather with calmer seas, less rainfall, and better visibility for nearby island hopping. The wet season (November to March) brings more frequent rain showers but still has pleasant days. Avoid peak Indonesian holidays if you prefer fewer crowds. Water temperatures remain warm throughout the year, making swimming comfortable in any season.
