One of beautiful island in Indonesia is Tidung Island. Tidung Island is in Kepulauan Seribu, Jakarta, Indonesia. This place is great. It has blue sea, beautiful beach, and cheaper than Bali Island. I love this place so much. I love snorkeling in here because the water is still blue and beautiful. I can get my underwater picture when I’m feeding fish.
If you don't like snorkeling, you can traveling around Tidung Island with free bicycle. You can buy souvenir for your family and friend such as sukun crackers and fish crackers. And the LOVE thing in here is Tidung has 'Jembatan Cinta' or in English it called 'Love Bridge'. Every couple always brings their partner here. They show their love and then jump together from the bridge to the sea.
And do you know how much i should pay for going this amazing place? I just paid 500.000 rupiahs (about USD 40) only for all facilities, foods, bbq, drink, everything! For banana boat, it extra 100.000 rupiahs (about USD 7) per person.
And that's my story. Do you have a great place with lower budget too? Just let me know :)

@caopaopao yes they can swim later.
Not sure since when people jump from bridge. I guess people want to show their love and their brave from jumping together. Its not as scary as I thought. It's fun and great bounding with your partner.

I have heard Bali is now very expensive and it is very touristy. Tidung Island looks a much better and cheaper alternative. I visited Indonesia in 1994 and it was an amazing bargain in those days.
I live in England and it can be pricey to fly to Corfu, a Greek Island. Stay one night for 85 Euros then take a ferry to Albania. We stayed at a two bedroom beach view apartment for less than 25 Euros per night in their local currency.
