Gosong Island is a small unique island. Its place is in the Seribu Islands. The island came from the sedimentation process of ocean waves, shell fragments, coral, and other marine animals to form a small island.

The natural continuous processes make the island bigger than before, and a new island is formed after a long period of time. Yes, it’s only long white sand in the middle of the sea. It is near Perak Island. From Perak Island, Gosong Island looks like a reflection of white light, surrounded by the blue sea.

Gosong Island is a unique island. This rising and falling island can only be visited at low tide and will sink when the tide is high. Therefore, you will not always be able to see the sand on the surface of the sea because this small dune will sink into the ocean at the high tide. This is an uninhabited island because it consists of a pile of white sand. Nothing grows on the sand, and it is not fertile soil. Therefore, there are no trees or buildings that can cover humans from the sun so that you can be sunburnt in Gosong Island.

Lili asked the travel agent, “Many people call this island Gosong Island. But, do you know the reason behind it? ‘Gosong’ is like fried food that was late removed from the frying pan.”

The travel agent answered, ”You must play on the beach from morning to evening on this island. Then, your skin will burn, like my skin.”

They laughed together. Of course. Sunbathing all day will burn human skin.
