Pantai Cemara Cipanglay

Pantai Cemara Cipanglay is a sand beach in West Java where visitors walk on wide sandy areas shaded by rows of tall casuarina trees. The trees stand densely along the shore and create natural corridors that run the full length of the coast.

The beach was once an open coastal area until a local reforestation project started planting casuarina trees in the early 2010s. This effort transformed the landscape and helped stabilize the shoreline against erosion.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices near the shore, contributing to the preservation of regional maritime customs and techniques.

Visitors should come early in the morning to avoid the heat and enjoy the shade of the trees. The paths are easy to walk on foot, though sturdy shoes work better since the sand can be uneven in places.

The casuarina trees serve a practical purpose in protecting the beach from erosion and wave damage. This ecological function means visitors are walking through an active environmental restoration project rather than a purely recreational area.
