Batu Payung
A mushroom-shaped sea-carved rock at the eastern tip of Tanjung Aan beach, which became famous after appearing in an advertisement. It is one of the most photogenic spots on the south coast.
Batu Payung means “umbrella rock.” It is an isolated sea-carved rock pillar standing on the reef, wide at the top and narrow at the base, just beyond the eastern headland of Tanjung Aan beach. At low tide, you can walk along the reef to get close to it. At high tide, you need to take a small boat from Tanjung Aan (about Rp 100000–150000 per boat), and it is often booked together with Gerupuk. The silhouette of the rock looks best at sunset. Do not get close to the outer side when the rocks are slippery or the waves are big, and check the tide table before setting out.
