Pantai BJBR — Attraction in East Java

[WISATA DI PROBOLINGGO]

It was nice place to visit, mangrove forest at the shore which has long wooden pier that allow us to walk around and see some nice scenery.

I went here at 5 pm, it was close to magrib time, so i was here just about 30 minutes. Everyone that comes in ought to pay entrance fare to PPP (Pelabuhan Perikanan Probolinggo) at 5.000 rupiah per person, and then buy BJBR ticket at 30.000 rupiah per person. Btw, BJBR located inside PPP.

Parking lot is right at the gate of the mangrove forest, we don’t need to walk so far to get into the place. I got in from seketeng sewu gate; it was one of several entry points of BJBR. Seketeng sewu means thousands gates. As it name, this way contains many red wooden gate, it looks like chinese town gate.

After walked about 5 minutes through the wooden pier, through the darkness due to we were walking below the shadows from mangroves, the scenery was really nice, it was open view: we could see the sky, the sea, the long way of wooden pier, the dwarfs mangroves. I couldn’t describe it more, you can see my photos attached, or better you should come here to see by yourself.

That’s all from...

This place is great, way much better than I expected, even if the price for entrance considered pricey for me (IDR 30K / person in the weekend). But after all, when you entered this place, you'll forget about that pricey entrance ticket because it's totally worth it. This place is perfectly romantic for young marriage couple, take a walk around at 5.30pm together, after reacing KCW statue, sit down and enjoy the view. I would rent a bungalow if I have enough money (starts from IDR 660K), it seems so romantic and private to spend a night there. Foods are delicious, red kerapu and seafood fried rice tastes so homey (ingredients were well mixed), I'd go with fried rice again later if I visit this place. Price for foods are considerable cheap, starts from IDR 29K for fried rice seafood. Public facilities like parking lot, entrance, and toilets are good and clean, while their staffs are friendly and ready to help. Overall, I will visit this place again, even if I have to drive from Surabaya again. Nice place to go,...

It’s still under construction Kids over 3 years old are charged full as a person as there are no other amusement except photo spots, why charging kids? They don’t quite understand yet what they’re doing here Unfriendly staff there also ruin my day. Last but not least, Nothing worth the expensive entry (IDR 40.000/person/weekend)

FYI Entry pass: Weekday IDR20.000/person Weekend IDR40.000/person National Holiday (what??? Is that also be recognized as weekend???) but hey, they differentiate it....
