Kejawanan Beach — Attraction in Cirebon

Prolly, It's like the one beach in the country where playing 'Sunday Best' by Surfaces just doesn't vibe right. Renovations happened, but let's be real, it's still just a smidge better.

Let's spill the beans. This small bee-yatch is basically a backyard extension with no clear line between houses, the harbor, and the actual sand. And don't even get me started on their Cinderella hours - beach curfew at 5 or 6 p.m. Goodness! It has closing hours. Except for the restaurant. They open til night.

And there's some wild tale that the ocean water here works like a miracle potion. Healing powers boo yah, I'm skeptical ofcourse, but who knows, right? Some people live the legend by soaking in it.

Calling all shutterbugs! This place might not be perfect, but those ships and boats parked nearby are your golden ticket to some epic photo ops! Lastly, The saving grace is its Golden Hour. It's gorgeous.

With cheap ticket 🎫 you will get all things I mentioned...

I came here because I wanted to experience the sea's ambience, and I believe that only this beach in Cirebon is accessible for everyone.

Will break down the price if you go there by a car, based on my experience.

The fee for entering the fishing port is 6,000 rupiah.

spend 4,000 rupiah for parking near the spot

Entry to the beach costs 5,500 rupiah each person, and the beach is only available until 5 p.m. per board rule.

Overall, the beach is like a backfill beach, not natural, so if you go there looking for peace and quiet and the sea, I don't think you'll find it because there are a lot of people and it's dirty (the water is brown), possibly due to its proximity to the port.

There is a prayer room and a restroom, but it is crowded with people rinsing, so it is dusty and sandy.

Be cautious if you want to swim or play on the boat because there are jellyfish when the sea...

I went here because the location was only few minutes from the city and the pics look good. I imagine sandy beach where we can sit and soak our feet in the wave, children digging holes and making sandcastles.

Boy, I had never been this wrong! 😅

The beach is located next to harbor and fishermen's village, you can imagine how it smells. You can't see the beach, because it is covered by warungs and trash. No shady trees to sit under, and if you want to build sandcastels you can go to small sandy-island few meters from the beach, in the middle of the sea. You can hire dingy-boat or walk through the brown water. Blackish brown, not blue. And if you want to clean up after, you must buy a bucket of water for Rp2000. No shower...
