Pantai Kilang Balikpapan

The white sand beach stretches along the coastline of Balikpapan, offering views of cargo ships passing through the waters of the Makassar Strait.

The beach gained its name from the nearby oil refineries that have been integral to Balikpapan's development as a major industrial center since colonial times.

Local residents gather at the beach restaurants to share traditional seafood dishes while watching performances of regional music and dance groups.

Located just 5 minutes from Balikpapan Port, the beach provides colorful beanbags, umbrellas, and picnic tables for visitors throughout its 24-hour operation.

The beach combines industrial views of oil tankers with natural coastal elements, creating a distinct contrast between maritime commerce and leisure activities.
