Penjaringan, Coastal district in North Jakarta, Indonesia

The westernmost district of North Jakarta extends along Jakarta Bay, featuring a network of channels, canals, and water reservoirs for flood control.

The district emerged as a vital coastal port in the 16th century, serving multiple kingdoms before becoming a Dutch colonial shipping center.

The Maritime Museum occupies former 17th-century Dutch warehouses, preserving artifacts from Indonesia's maritime history through detailed exhibitions and displays.

Five administrative zones constitute the district: Penjaringan, Pluit, Pejagalan, Kapuk Muara, and Kamal Muara, each with specific services and facilities.

The Muara Angke Wildlife Sanctuary protects 25 hectares of Jakarta's original mangrove forest, providing habitat for numerous bird species.
