Pantai Ujung Tanggul

Pantai Ujung Tanggul is a beach with a wide band of sand along the Indian Ocean in North Cilacap with shallow waves and marine creatures visible near the waterline. The shoreline displays the natural meeting point between water and land.

The location began as a fishing village with deep ties to ocean livelihoods that passed through generations. Over time it gradually opened to visitors while fishing practices remained central to local life.

Local fishermen shape the daily rhythm of the beach with their work and boats along the shore. They perform regular ceremonies to express thanks for the ocean's resources.

The beach is reachable by car and has small food vendors and basic facilities scattered along the shore. Visitors should be aware of tidal conditions and expect sandy, natural conditions without extensive development.

A natural earthen barrier formation called tanggul shapes the shoreline and acts like a protective wall against waves. This geographic feature is often overlooked but plays an important role in defining the place.
