"It's so beach!" Top 5 Page for this destination Pangandaran by belgianchocolate

Pangandaran Travel Guide: 87 reviews and 126 photos

'It's so beach' said someone to me in the
forum asking about Pangandaran.
And it is!

BUT , despite the fact that it is very touristic ,
it escaped the big hotels , mass foreign tourism.
It stays a really nice Indonesian village..
With good accomodations for tourists.

The most beautiful day of my trip I had here :
The Green canyon
is absolutely amazing.

did u get to stay at Batu Karas Beach? that's the best spot to stay in Pangandaran almost empty beach (unless during public holidays) good food, cheap rooms, good crowd (mostly college students from Bandung and surfers).

I called the 'mimosa' as 'putri malu', Frank. And I can't stop my laugh whenever read about Frederik and the snake [remember when you tell the story at Oasis]. But if ever I meet her by myself like Frederik, I will die, not laugh :) Hugs ~ @rie ~
