About this site
Cape Bira sits at the southeastern tip of South Sulawesi, near the town of Bulukumba, and is the departure point for boats crossing to Selayar Island and the Bonerate archipelago. The coastline here is known for its traditional Bugis shipbuilding, with wooden phinisi schooners still constructed on the beaches nearby. The diving off the cape is rated technical.
