Tanjung Lesung

A seaside resort on the way to Ujung Kulon, with calm bays and sandy beaches, making it a good place to stop for a night.

Tanjung Lesung lies on a peninsula on the west coast of Banten Province. It is a tourism economic zone planned by Indonesia, with several seaside resorts, beaches and water activities. It is about 1.5 hours' drive from Sumur and is often used as a stopover between Jakarta and Ujung Kulon. The bay is calm, making it good for swimming, banana boat rides and watching the sunset. Boat trips to see the Anak Krakatau volcano can also be arranged from here. The 2018 Sunda Strait tsunami hit this area hard, and some facilities have since been rebuilt, so check that businesses are operating before you travel.
