Derawan Island Beach offers an unparalleled wildlife spectacle: a 95% chance of spotting green sea turtles nesting on shore from March to August. The crystal-clear waters provide 30-meter visibility for snorkeling alongside these gentle giants, and overwater cottages let you fall asleep to the ocean's rhythm. Outperforming #5-ranked Ora Beach in accessibility, Derawan is reachable via a 30-minute speedboat from Tanjung Redeb, while Ora requires a longer, multi-leg journey. This East Kalimantan paradise also features a thriving coral garden with over 200 fish species, making it a richer marine biodiversity site than the typical rival beach in the top 10. For a seamless blend of wildlife encounters and comfortable stays, Derawan outstrips #7 for convenience without sacrificing natural beauty.
