Pangandaran

The sandy shores of Pangandaran stretch along two sections, with the western part featuring calm waters and the eastern part known for water activities.

Initially established as a fishing settlement, Pangandaran transformed into a coastal destination following infrastructure developments in the late twentieth century.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices, selling fresh catches at morning markets and preparing regional seafood specialties for visitors.

Visitors reach Pangandaran through regular bus services from Bandung and Jakarta, with the journey taking approximately five hours from either city.

The Pananjung Nature Reserve adjacent to the beach spans 530 hectares, protecting diverse marine species and providing natural barriers against ocean waves.
