Kertamukti is located in the Sumur district at the southwestern tip of Banten and is one of the last retreats for nature lovers on Java. The region is the gateway to Ujung Kulon National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Pondok Pantai Ciputih is the showcase of the area; its name means 'White Beach,' and it delivers on that promise. The fine sand and turquoise water are more reminiscent of remote islands than densely populated Java. It is a handy spot for snorkeling and swimming in an almost pristine environment. The 8988 Beach Resort has rustic but comfortable accommodation right by the sea, convenient for those wishing to escape daily stress. The surroundings of Kertamukti are defined by coconut palms and dense forests. Being far from major transport routes, it has maintained a very relaxed pace. Visitors can take boat trips to nearby islands like Peucang or join guided tours into the national park to search for the rare Javan rhino. The local cuisine is based on simply prepared seafood, often grilled right on the beach. The journey from Jakarta takes about 5 to 7 hours, guaranteeing the exclusivity and tranquility of this location.
