Gedambaan Beach, Coastal stretch in Gedambaan Village, South Kalimantan, Indonesia
Gedambaan Beach is a coastal strip about one kilometer long with white sand bordered by mountains on one side and clear Java Sea waters on the other. The area includes restaurants, guesthouses, and a swimming pool for visitors.
This coastal area originated as a fishing settlement founded centuries ago by Bugis and Mandar migrants from South Sulawesi. Their heritage continues to shape how people live and work here today.
The fishing families who live here share their work with visitors, selling fresh catch directly from the water and inviting people to watch and join their daily routines. This active blend of livelihood and tourism shapes how the place feels throughout the day.
The beach sits about 14 kilometers from downtown Kotabaru and operates from early morning to 11 PM. Nearby restaurants and lodging options make it easy to spend several hours or stay longer without traveling far.
Visitors can take in both mountain and ocean views while watching a working fishing village go about its daily life right alongside the beach. This blend of landscape and living community gives the place its particular character.
