Pantai Watu Leter, Sand beach in Sitiarjo, Kabupaten Malang, Indonesia
Pantai Watu Leter is a sand beach on Malang's southern coast where white sand meets green water, with limestone cliffs and mangrove forests framing the cove. The shoreline runs in its natural state without major development or built infrastructure.
The beach formed through natural geological processes and has long served as a landing point for regional fishing boats. Over time it remained largely unchanged and continues to serve the same function for local people today.
This beach holds meaning for local fishing communities who depend on these waters for their livelihood and subsistence. The nesting turtles have become part of local identity and daily awareness about ocean conservation.
To reach this location, visitors park at nearby Goa China Beach and walk a narrow path through mangrove forests to arrive here. The best time to visit is during low tide when more sand is visible and walking is easier.
The beach regularly hosts sea turtles that come ashore to lay eggs, forming a natural nesting ground that visitors can witness. These arrivals are unpredictable, but visitors can see traces and nests showing how active this site is for turtle reproduction.
