Tapak Paderi Beach

Tapak Paderi Beach is a coastal strand in Bengkulu with black sand shores stretching near Fort Marlborough. The waterfront has palm trees and clear water that invite swimming and wading.

During colonial times this location functioned as Bengkulu's first deepwater port under British administration. This maritime role shaped how the city developed its connection to the sea.

Local vendors operate informal food stalls selling grilled corn and seafood prepared with traditional recipes along the waterfront. These stalls form part of the everyday rhythm at this coastal destination.

The beach is easily accessible from downtown Bengkulu during daylight and early evening hours. Visitors should bring flat footwear and sun protection since natural shade is sparse.

The beach merges seamlessly with two adjacent coastal zones creating one long continuous waterfront for extended walks. This three-beach system draws both locals and guests who enjoy lengthy seaside journeys.
