Anyer is a long-standing weekend getaway for Jakarta residents, offering a classic beach atmosphere on the western tip of Java. The town's most famous landmark is the Cikoneng Lighthouse, built by the Dutch in 1885, which marks the starting point of the historical Great Post Road. The local beaches are popular for various water sports, including jet-skiing and banana boat rides. For adventurers, Anyer serves as the main jumping-off point for boat trips to the legendary Anak Krakatau volcano in the Sunda Strait. The surrounding area features lush landscapes and several waterfalls worth exploring. Dining here revolves around fresh seafood grilled over coconut husks. Reachable in about 2-3 hours by car from Jakarta, it is very accessible. The best time to visit is during the dry season from May to September for clear views of the volcano.
