Panjang Beach, Beach in Bengkulu, Indonesia.
Panjang Beach is a white-sand beach in Bengkulu with a coastline running about 7 km and a beach width of roughly 500 metres. It lies in Ratu Agung, Teluk Segara and Ratu Samban districts, about 4 km from the city centre, parallel to Tapak Paderi and Zakat beaches.
The sources record no colonial maritime role for Panjang Beach. The documented facts are geographic: a 7 km shoreline about 500 m wide of white sand, roughly 4 km from central Bengkulu, within Ratu Agung, Teluk Segara and Ratu Samban districts, running parallel to Tapak Paderi and Zakat beaches.
The beach is used for jogging and strolling in the morning and late afternoon, while its waves draw surfers. Food stalls, coffee shops, lodging, play areas, a shopping centre and sports facilities stand along the shore, so the coast serves as Bengkulu's everyday recreation ground rather than a fishing harbour.
The beach lies about 3 km from central Bengkulu and can be reached by public transport or a rented vehicle. There is no entrance fee, but motorcycles pay Rp 2,000 and cars Rp 5,000 for parking. Visits are possible at any hour, as no time restriction applies.
