The Nuance
Even though some people may think that Fitu Beach is not as beautiful as other Ternate’s beaches, but it has a special panorama for tourists to enjoy. As mentioned before, it becomes the best place to witness the view of Tidore and Maitara Mountain on the horizon. Even the local fisherman boat can be seen clearly as well just like that of the thousand Rupiah banknote!
