Province with the named ‘island’ attach on it make Bangka
Belitung Island province has more than 1200 kilometre beachline. With very
short time trip, well, not that short, it’s actually 3 day and 2 night trip, my
friend and I visited some beaches on 2 region in Belitung island. Here are some
recommendation beaches that I visited on Belitung.
1. Tanjung Pendam beach.
The beach that was placed on West Belitung region was the
first beach I’ve visited when I arrive for the first time on Bangka Belitung
province. This beach was one of the main attractions and kinda must visit beach
on West Belitung because it was nearby the Tanjung Pandan city center. On this
22 acre beach was also the placed that connected Belitung Island into some
small islands nearby.
When I arrive, this beach was so quiet and empty. Maybe
because that day was Monday, an office day for most people, or maybe be just
because this beach wasn’t famous as the neighbourhood beach that already been
famous as a movie shooting place. Anyway, a good thing about quiet beach is you
could enjoy time alone and wandering on the beach, feels the wind breeze, all
by yourself.
2. Tanjung Kelayang beach
This beach located on the northern part of Belitung Island
or about 27 kilometres from the capital of Belitung, Tanjung Pandan city. This
beach always becomes the main destination for tourist and traveller who wants
to sailing to the famous island of Lengkuas.
Unfortunately my arrival day on this beach was had extreme
wind breeze and a big dark cloud hanging on the sky, a sign of a hurricane
storm will arrive anytime soon. So I decided not go sailing that day and just
walking around the beach, enjoying a very comfort and soft white sand beach
underneath my feet and clear water on Tanjung Kelayang beach.
3. Tanjung Tinggi beach
The beach that been famous as the Laskar Pelangi movie spot
create some kind of impression among tourist that said “It wouldn’t a complete
journey to Belitung if you hasn’t visit Tanjung Tinggi or Laskar Pelangi beach”.
So, my friend and I going to this beach that placed about 31 kilometres from
Tanjung Pandan city.
This beach has 80 acres wide with its white sand beach and a
lot of and huge granite stone signature place. Those granite stone was standing
tall up to a thousand cubic per stone. This is the beach that has more visitor
than any other beaches. And as usual, seeing those tallest stone makes my feet
wanna climb and jump on it. So, I climb it! My friends family was shocked with
my climb activity, because he rarely seen any girl, petit girl like me,
enjoying climb and hanging on the high places, especially when I doing a yoga
pose with one feet. “You make me have a kinda mild heart attack, seeing you
climb every stone and pose like that” he said to me. Hahahaha.
4. Nyiur Melambai beach
This beach located on Lalang village, Manggar district, East
Belitung region so most of Belitung citizens know this beach by the name Lalang
beach. This beach was the closest beach from Manggar city, about 2 kilometres
away, but the road to get to the beach was mostly a zig zag roads makes it looks
far away.
By the way, even though the beach named was Nyiur Melambai
(waving coconut tree), this beach actually has more pine tree than coconut
tree. And because of its faced directly to the Java ocean, the strong ocean
wind always appear on certain months (usually
started on November until February) and makes the fisherman can’t
sailing.
5. Serdang beach
Serdang beach also the closest beach to Manggar city, like
Nyiur Melambai beach, only located on different village. This beach placed on Baru
village of Manggar region.
This beach was located on the eastern part of Belitung Island
so you could enjoy the sunrise in the ocean from this beach. Unfortunately I was
visiting this beach at noon because of waiting the hard rain in the morning
until it’s gone. So, here I am, enjoying the beauty and quiet beach with the
line of pine tree, all by myself.
6. Bukit Berahu beach
This beach was famous because there’s a private cottage
named Bukit Berahu Cottage that placed on the top of the hill. This beach
located on Tanjung Binga village, Sijuk district, Pangkal Pinang Region, West
Belitung.
From the parking area, you could not see the beach. We had
to stepping down a stairs to get to the beach area. Hangout on the swing under
the tree and looking through the horizon on the ocean was the perfect moment
for me. On this beach there were also a cabins or homestay. Don’t ask about the
price because I didn’t stay there. Hahaha.
