Batu Hiu
Pantai Batu Hiu
A viewing park on a seaside cliff, named after a reef shaped like a shark fin, overlooking the waves of the Indian Ocean.
Batu Hiu means 'shark rock.' It lies on the coast about 15 km west of Pangandaran, where offshore rocks resemble a shark's dorsal fin. The clifftop is a viewing park planted with pandanus trees, overlooking the powerful Indian Ocean waves and a long black-sand coastline. A sea turtle conservation site is nearby. The waves are large, and swimming is prohibited. It makes a good half-hour to one-hour stop on the way to Green Canyon.
