Pangandaran Beach (West Beach)
Pantai Barat Pangandaran
The town's main beach. Its wide sands face the Indian Ocean sunset, and you can learn to surf or ride a beach bike. It is busiest in the evening.
West Beach is Pangandaran's main beach. It runs for several kilometres along the western side of the peninsula, with wide sand and moderate waves. Along the shore you'll find surf lessons, banana boat rides and beach bike rentals, and rows of snack stalls and seafood restaurants. Evening is the best time to watch the sun set over the Indian Ocean. Some areas have strong rip currents. Watch for red flags and lifeguard warnings, and do not swim in restricted areas.
