💡 Tips

Plan your arrival with a private car or driver, as public transport options to this region are sparse.
Use insect repellent consistently, especially at dusk when near the coastal areas.
Check the tide charts, as swimming can be difficult at low tide in some spots due to corals.
Use the village as a quiet retreat before heading to the more developed Tanjung Lesung area.
Wear water shoes during beach walks to protect your feet from sharp shells or stones.
