Tanjung kunyit is a fishing village inhabited by only a few heads of families.
The majority of Tanjung Kunyit Island is inhabited by the Mandar and Bugis tribes, who live a very simple life.
In fact, there is only one elementary school on the island, the condition of which is also quite worrying, while for secondary school, residents of Tanjung Kunyit Island usually send their children to school in Tamiang Bay by boat.
Being there will make you truly feel at peace, far from the hustle and bustle and pollution like in a big city. Before visiting Tanjung Kunyit Island, it's a good idea to learn some Bugis or Mandarese, because not many people there can speak Indonesian.
Because many people still don't know that there is a place on the beach in Kotabaru that can be used as a diving area , the coral reefs in the Tanjung Kunyit sea are still very good and have not been polluted.
