Despite the big waves (which is a common characteristic of South beaches of Garut), the seawater becomes calmer in the recession part of the beach. No wonder, many tourists take advantage of such condition to swim using buoy tires. In a nutshell, this beach resembles Bali’s Tanah Lot so much and is suitable for photography. The presence of gazebos on the edge of the coral reefs makes the beach perfect for relaxation as well.
