Pangandaran East Beach & Fish Market
Pantai Timur Pangandaran
A fishing harbor beach on the east side of the peninsula. At dawn you can watch the sunrise and fishing boats, and the nearby seafood market lets you buy and cook your catch on the spot.
East Beach has big waves and many rocks, so swimming is not advised. But it is a harbor where fishermen head out to sea, and at sunrise the fishing boats return to unload their catch, full of local life. The nearby seafood market (Pasar Ikan) sells fish, shrimp, crab and lobster. You can buy your seafood and have restaurants around the market grill it or cook it in Padang style, paying a processing fee by weight. Ask about the price and the processing fee before you buy.
Opening hours
All day (market approx. 08:00–21:00)
