Base G Beach
Pantai Base G
A long sandy beach north of the city, named after the US Army's Base G from World War II. It is a popular spot for locals to picnic and swim on weekends.
Base G Beach lies about 5 kilometers north of central Jayapura. Its name comes from the 'Base G' logistics camp that the US Army established here during World War II. The beach has fine, soft sand, and shade trees and simple gazebos line the shore. Local families come on weekends to picnic and swim, while weekdays are quieter. A small entrance or parking fee applies. Facilities are basic, so bring your own drinking water. Currents are strong in some areas, so take care when swimming.
