Carocok Beach, Painan
Pantai Carocok
A beach in Painan Bay, with a wooden pier leading to a small island and a floating mosque nearby. Boats can take you to Cingkuak Island.
A wooden pier extends from the beach out to a small island, where visitors can climb steps for views of the bay. The nearby Samudera Ilahi floating mosque is very photogenic. A boat from the jetty takes about 15 minutes to reach Cingkuak Island. The island has Portuguese and Dutch-era fort ruins and white sand beaches, and banana boat rides are available. It works well as part of a two-day southern route with Bukit Langkisau and the Mandeh Islands.
