Pantai Jetis

Black sand stretches along the shoreline of Pantai Jetis, where iron-rich deposits create a stark contrast against the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean.

The beach area underwent significant changes when local authorities initiated a coastal preservation project by planting numerous Casuarina trees during the 1990s.

Local fishermen gather at sunrise near the shore to prepare their traditional boats and nets for daily fishing expeditions in the southern waters.

Visitors can access the beach through a paved road from Cilacap city, located 40 kilometers away, with an entrance fee of 5,000 rupiah per person.

The beach contains natural iron deposits in its black sand, which previously supported mining activities before coastal erosion affected certain sections.
