A Day at the Beach – Sambolo 1, Anyer, West Java!

4 July 2019No Comment

 
We LOVE the outdoors.

And we love the beach!

And so there we were, tanning ourselves before school officially starts again next week! =)
 

 

 
Here are some quick tips and info:

– We went on a Wednesday. We left at 7.30am and it took us 2.5 hours from Jakarta to this beach called Sambolo 1 at Anyer.

Why Sambolo 1 beach?

Because to us, this beach is nice and clean. We always come to this beach whenever we go to Anyer.
 

 
– When you see Makassar Seafood restaurant on your left, then this beach is near. Sambolo 1 will be on your right.

This restaurant is btw where we had our lunch after our beach visit =)
 

 

– Entrance to ‘Sambolo 1’ beach parking area now costs Rp. 75.000

– Renting a ‘hut’ now costs Rp. 80.000
 


 
– Coconut now costs Rp. 15.000 each

– One-hour massage costs Rp. 50.000

(Old ladies would approach you to offer their services. They’d proactively massage your shoulders to give you a ‘foretaste’ of their massaging skills)

 


 

 
Usually by around 12pm, we ask the kids to finish up and shower.

Now, here’s one common question I get asked by others: How’s the toilet there?

Well, the ‘toilet’ area is … simple.

You’ll find a row of cubicles with concrete floors and wooden doors.

Water is available in a ‘bak’ (pronunciation: ‘buck’). A ‘bak’ is a concrete tub filled with water.

You then ‘bathe’ by scooping some water using a ‘plastic bowl with a handle’ (called ‘gayung’ in Indonesian, pronunciation ‘guh-yoong’) and pouring the water unto yourself.

 

 
Do bring along your own shampoo, soap, towel, etc.

And oh, there’s no electricity, so your cubicle would be little dark =)

Price per person is as written on the wall (above picture)

Basically, it’s Rp. 4.000 per person, to shower, pee, change clothes, or poop =)
 

 
Okay, anyway, here are more photos to share!
 


 

 
And here’s a short video of our family’s day out at the beach!

Enjoy!
