Pangandaran, Administrative regency in West Java, Indonesia
Description
Pangandaran is a regency in West Java, Indonesia, that follows the coastline of the Indian Ocean. The territory combines forested hills with sandy stretches and small settlements scattered throughout ten administrative districts.
History
The regency was formed in 2012 when authorities separated the southern part of Ciamis to bring administration closer to the local population. The split marked a shift toward a self-governing system with its own institutions.
Culture
The population of 431,464 residents maintains Sundanese traditions through local festivals, traditional ceremonies, and regional cuisine preparations.
Practical
Parigi serves as the administrative seat where travelers can find official information and connections to surrounding villages. Most visitors navigate using coastal roads and rely on local transport to reach different districts.
Did you know?
The western boundary follows the Citanduy River, which forms a natural dividing line between regencies. Fishermen use its mouth to bring in their daily catch.
