It's so unfortunate for us since we forgot to bring our snorkles. But, there is a warning sign to no swim on Teluk Asmoro when the tide appear. So, visitors need to be aware on the weather. When we came, it was a bright day and the wawes are so friendly. We can see fishes swimming around near the coral. If you don't know, there are two areas here in BTA (Bangsong Teluk Asmoro, this name reminds me a lot of BTS, my favorite K-Idol). The first one is an area with many corals on the beach, the waves will be a bit calm on the afternoon, so don't come too early, because you need to fight the waves and sands when you decided to hit the water. Then, seperated by a small coral hill, people can find another beach, that has much calmer waves with white sands and beautiful colors. Here, you can swim freely, without any worries, if you swim close to the small coral hill.

FYI, the entrance ticket costs 10,000IDR per person and...

The entrance fee is 10k in front, and after that you have to pay again when you going to park your vehicle for about rp 15k inside (include mineral water).
The access from the parking lot to the beach is not an easy task especially if you old enough. Because you have to climb a small hill maybe about 20 steps and down a stairs for maybe about 60 steps. So i think this beach isnt accessible if you use a wheelchair.
The view and the cleanliness of this beach is quite good
You can swim in this beach because there is a huge rock or a small island that protect the beach from a huge wave.
You can actually camping in this beach because the area is not to small and if you havent bring one there is camp rental inside the beach so you dont have to worry about it.
And this beach have many toilet that you can use for take a bath after swimming and it cost about...
