(Dili, East Timor)

An isolated beach just outside of the capitol, Dili, yet to be encroached by beach-side facilities. Due to frequent violence in and around the capitol, tourism has not properly developed in East Timor. However, with large stretches of beaches in the country in similar pristine condition, it's a matter of time before tourists discover the beauty of East Timor and the incredible diving opportunities just off its coast
