Cristo Rei beach, Public beach in Dili, East Timor.
Cristo Rei Beach extends along 870 meters of white sand at the northeastern end of Dili Bay, bordered by eucalyptus-covered hills.
The beach development received substantial improvements during East Timor's IV Constitutional Government term with the addition of gazebos and facilities.
The monumental statue of Christ the King standing at the northern end of the beach represents religious significance for East Timorese people.
Local food vendors offer packed lunches during weekends, while weekdays provide more solitude for visitors seeking a quiet beach experience.
A 570-step concrete staircase connects the beach to the Christ statue, offering views of both Dili Bay and Jesus Backside Beach.
