Ternate

Ternate is a small island in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, located in the Halmahera Sea off the western coast of the larger island of Halmahera. It is the largest city in the province of North Maluku and the administrative capital of the Ternate Regency. The island covers an area of 538 square kilometers, and is home to a population of over 140,000 people.

Ternate is situated in the northern part of the Maluku Islands, just off the western coast of Halmahera. It is surrounded by the Banda Sea to the east and the Halmahera Sea to the west. The island is composed of an extinct volcano, and is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the region.

Ternate has a long and rich history, dating back to the 16th century when it was a powerful sultanate. During this period, Ternate was a major center of the spice trade and was a major rival to the neighboring sultanate of Tidore.

Today, Ternate is a popular tourist destination, thanks to its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and rich history.
