Angsana Beach, Coastal beach in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Angsana Beach is a sandy shore with white sand and clear waters in South Kalimantan where gentle waves lap the edge. Tall trees line the coastline, creating shade and shelter along the waterfront for those who visit.
Local fishermen named a rocky formation Batu Anjir after their boats encountered it while working the waters. The spot later grew into a destination known to travelers seeking a coastal escape.
Fishing remains central to life here, with boats anchoring in the waters throughout the day. Elevated wooden structures built over the sea serve as restaurants where visitors can eat while watching the local maritime rhythm unfold.
Reaching this beach requires taking public transportation from Banjarmasin to the Kilometer 6 terminal, then a short motorcycle ride to reach the shore. The area works best when visited early in the day for clearer water and less crowding.
Three snorkeling spots lie within reach from here: Batu Anjir, Sungai Dua Laut, and Karang Rima, each hosting different marine species and coral formations. Returning visitors often find new details in the underwater landscape with each visit.
