Karang Bolong Beach

Karang Bolong Beach is one of the most popular tourism objects in Cilacap. Karang means rock and bolong means hole
It is located in the eastern of Nusakambangan Island. Nusakambangan Island is famous as the Prisoner Island but a part of it has beautiful panorama which can be visited by people who want to enjoy the beauty of natural scenery
To reach the Kalang Bolong Beach firstly we can use the vessel from Teluk Penyu Beach crossing the sea about 15 minutes. On the vessel while enjoying the beautiful panorama of the sea, we can play the water on the right and the left of the vessel by waving hand into the sea water or rowing by using hand and throwing the water to friends in happiness. After arriving at the bank of Nusakambangan Island we have to walk about 20 minutes crossing the forest to arrive there
Karang Bolong Beach has smooth and clean white sand, there’s also small shells spread of along the beach. The wave rolling to the beach makes the beach more beautiful. The visitors can play sand by making the sand castle or other things we want such as turtle, fish, etc.
As a matter of fact the form of Karang Bolong is derived from the wave which crushes the rock anytime. The rock is scraped or swept away by the water. So the rock is holed or “bolong” in Javanese
Although the trip was so tiring but after arriving at the beach and saw beautiful scenery of it, our tiredness was automatically disappeared and replaced by the happiness.
