Piaynemo Geosite

Piaynemo Geosite and its limestone islets in Raja Ampat. Dozens of karsts poke up above the water (porous rock worn down over millennia by rain and waves), and you’ll find some of the clearest water in the Pacific, beckoning you to jump in and snorkel around for a while. On Piaynemo’s “main” island there’s a dock and a few buildings making up a small park outpost, and attached to a tiny market specializing in coconuts, coconut oil, and instant ramen (?). From there, you can do a short hike up to the lookout where this photo was taken.
