Losari Beach
Pantai Losari
Makassar’s best-known urban waterfront promenade, where locals gather in the evening to watch the sun set over the sea and eat banana cakes. It is a city icon.
Losari is not a sandy beach but a long seaside plaza built along the Makassar Strait. Giant “PANTAI LOSARI” letter signs stand here, and residents gather in the evening to watch the sunset. Next to it, the Amirul Mukminin “Floating Mosque” sits on a platform over the sea and lights up at night. In the evening, stalls along the shore sell Makassar specialties such as Pisang Epe (grilled banana cakes) and Coto Makassar (beef soup). Entry is free. Weekend evenings are crowded, so keep an eye on your belongings.
