Pantai Fitu is a celebrated coastal landmark in Ternate, North Maluku, drawing visitors primarily for its stunning geographical significance. From its shores, you can witness the perfectly aligned peaks of Tidore and Maitara islands, a vista so iconic it was chosen to represent the region on the Indonesian 1,000 Rupiah banknote. The beach is characterized by its dark volcanic sand and is conveniently located within walking distance of the main road. While the site is simple and lacks extensive facilities, it remains the premier destination for photographers and sightseers looking to capture one of Indonesia's most recognizable natural landscapes.

Pantai Fitu is widely recognized by visitors as the 'money view' spot, offering the exact perspective of Tidore and Maitara islands found on the 1,000 Rupiah banknote. Reviewers consistently praise the breathtaking scenery and the unique black sand beach. It is noted as being very accessible, located just a short distance from the main road with some parking available for cars. However, several visitors have pointed out that the area can be a bit dirty with trash, suggesting that the primary draw is the view rather than the beach facilities themselves. Despite this, it remains a top destination in Ternate for a quick photo op. Most agree that the stunning island backdrop makes the stop worthwhile.
