Pulau Merah Beach
Pantai Pulau Merah
A white-sand beach with a small green island of red soil standing in the bay. It is most beautiful at sunset and is popular with beginner surfers.
Pulau Merah Beach is in the Pesanggaran area in the south of Banyuwangi Regency. The small island covered in green trees is named for its exposed red soil. At low tide you can walk along the sandbar to the foot of the island, but the island itself is a religious site and cannot be climbed. The wide beach has waves suited to beginners. You can rent surfboards and umbrellas, and evening is the best time to photograph sunset silhouettes. It is about 2 hours by car from Banyuwangi city. Admission is about IDR 10,000. Currents run through the waves, so keep to the red-flagged safe area when swimming.
