Pangandaran

The One Stop Complete Experience

 

Pangandaran is located on a peninsula on the south coast of West Java, about 91 km from the town of Ciamis, Pangandaran offers uniquely black and white sand, calm waved beaches and spectacular sunsets. This beautiful peninsula was once better known as a small fishing place. Pananjung beach, located at the western end of the peninsula, is an ideal place for family activities. Its calm waves will let you and your family swim around safely.

You can also bathe under the sun or simply just watch the enchanting panoramic view. Next to the beach is a forested hill, the dwelling place for many monkeys, deer, buffaloes, and other exotic animals. At the top of the hill is a beautiful waterfall which drops directly into the ocean.

The eastern coast is a paradise for Fresh Sea Food Lovers. Here, you can take your pick among many selections of restaurants and food stalls that offers freshly caught fish, squids, crabs, prawns, and others. At the south end of this restaurant line-up, is the fresh fish market where you can buy freshly caught fish and other sea food, and have them grilled or barbequed to your own liking. Pangandaran is a one stop complete experience.

The best way to get around Pangandaran is on foot, since a walk on the beach and having your feet touch the sand offers its own sensation.
