Task 1 - second version

Tasikmalaya, City of Beaches

My hometown, Tasikmalaya, is a beautiful city that has several beaches, three of them are Cipatujah Beach, Cikembulan Beach, and Sindangkerta Beach.

Cipatujah Beach, also called Pantai Selatan Tasikmalaya, has beautiful view of blue sea and white sand. It is a calm and safe beach where you can take on a boat and fish without any worry that your boat will be upside down by seawave.

Cikembulan Beach or Pantai Karang Tawulan is a unique beach. It is famous for its great coral reef. You can see seagulls here. And when it is coming to the middle of the month, the time when turtles lay their eggs, you will be seeing them if you are lucky enough. And there is a small island near this beach. It is called Nusa Manuk. Manuk is a Sundanese word means bird. And, yes, in this island, you can see different kinds of birds.

Sindangkerta Beach has something different than the other beaches. It has sea garden called Taman Lengsar. You can do snorkeling here. In its twenty hectare area of sea garden, you will see coral reef, different kinds of beautiful fishes, and green turtles, which is extremely endangered now.
So, are you interested in visiting my beautiful hometown?
