It’s easy to think that Java doesn’t have that idyllic beach
paradise. Being the most populated island and home to 60 percent of
Indonesia’s 240 million people, it’s far from the idea of a peaceful
stretch of sand. However, there are corners of the island where things
haven’t changed much over the years. The beaches of Pangandaran and Batu
Karas fall into this category and are said to be like Bali’s Kuta Beach
20 years ago; not overly commercialised.
Pangandaran and Batu Karas are two adjacent beaches just south of West Java, which have catered to much of the beachy needs of the locals and just a handful of foreign travellers that make the effort to get here… It’s not the white powder sand of picture postcards, but it still brings the clean fresh smell of the ocean and we reckon this off the beaten track gem will charm you into staying longer than you planned! So what is there more to know?
Most travellers will head straight to the beach area. There are many hostels, hotels and guesthouses available for all sorts of budgets, from 4-5 star hotels to cheap hostels and even home-stays, all just a walk away from the beach. The prices of some hostel are negotiable, especially during weekdays when the majority of Indonesian tourists are in work – so make sure you try your luck!
Batukaras Beach is less commercialised than Pangandaran. Much of the restaurants, hotels, and surfboard rentals are available on the west corner of the beach. All of these establishments support visitors that occupy the small secluded beach on the end of the road. The eastern side of the beach provides a quieter and more peaceful ambience.
