    Manggar selama ini hanya terkenal dengan warung kopi, padahal ada banyak destinasi yang cukup unik di kota Manggar, pantai-pantainya juga lumayan keren. Kota Maggar hanya berjarak 30 menit dari Gantong dimana Laskar Pelangi dan Ahok berasal, jadi jangan khawatir ada banyak yang bisa dikihat di kota Manggar dan sekitarnya.
