Pantai Sulamadaha
Pretty black sand beach surrounded by trees with clear calm waters good for snorkeling.
Portuguese fort constructed in 1512 that has, over the years, also seen occupation by the Dutch, British, and a Sultanate. Abandoned in 1864 and then the focus of renovation efforts in 1996, it has a nice phallic shape.
A park in a hilly area to see the view of the downtown of Ternate. It is good to go there in the afternoon or evening.
Pantai Jikomalamo
Another nice beach for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.
This museum highlights the past rule of the Sultanate of Ternate and is housed in the actual palace built for the sultan in 1813. No shorts allowed; must remove shoes at entrance.
Exercise caution in climbing in consideration of its volcanic volatility and its past eruption in 2011.
