Karamajat Island is one of unspoiled islands in Mentawai. It seems like private island in Indonesia with the nature beauty. The geographical condition and the nature are still fresh and pure. There are only a few people living in and visiting the island. However, since a new surf camp, like Karamajat Surf Camp, was recently built, the number of tourists visiting the island is getting increasing. The island attracts many visitors to try the surfing spots available in this island. The island is indeed has potential to be developed as a tourist destination, especially marine tourism. The government needs to pay more attention for the development of infrastructure in this beautiful island.
