Pantai Kondang Merak, Beach in Sumberbening village, Malang Regency, Indonesia
Description
Pantai Kondang Merak is a beach near Sumberbening village that stretches for several hundred meters of light-colored sand and turquoise water. Coral formations frame the shoreline, with vegetation growing densely along the edges where land meets sea.
History
The beach takes its name from peacocks that lived in the estuary until uncontrolled hunting caused them to disappear in the 1980s. The local coastal community has long relied on these waters as a source of food and livelihood across generations.
Culture
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices at this coastal location, where daily fish trading occurs directly on the beach's edge.
Practical
The beach is easiest to visit during the dry season when paths are clearer and the water calmer for swimming. Bring sturdy shoes, as the approach involves walking through vegetation and coral formations can be sharp in places.
Did you know?
The waters are home to small octopi, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers that live among the coral formations in this area. These creatures hide in crevices and under rocks, making them a rewarding find for visitors who look carefully.
