Pantai Suwuk, Coastal beach in Kebumen, Indonesia
Pantai Suwuk is a beach in Kebumen that stretches along the Indian Ocean with three tall hills rising on its western side. The shore features black sand and pandanus plants that grow along the water's edge, shaping the beach's natural appearance.
The beach was developed through infrastructure improvements that connected it to older regional transport networks. These improvements helped establish the area as an accessible coastal destination.
Local vendors along the shore sell traditional Indonesian dishes like pecel and lontong, which you can taste while watching the ocean. Special jellyfish crackers called peyek ubur-ubur are made here and offer a unique regional flavor found nowhere else.
The beach has a steep slope and strong waves that make swimming dangerous and swimming is not recommended here. Instead, visitors can take horse riding tours to explore the coastal area safely.
A retired Boeing 737 aircraft from the 1980s stands here as an exhibition piece that captures visitors' attention in an unexpected way. The plane was once in active service before finding its final display location at this coastal site.
