The Hidden Paradise East Java, Greenbay

  

 
The Greenbay and rocky beach is one of the hidden paradise in Banyuwangi, East java. Located within National park of Merubetiri, Sarongan - Pesanggaran or about 90 kilometers in south of Banyuwangi. The location itself is hidden in the forest and hills. From the final post, we can reach the area by tracking and hiking or ride the local ship that available in the final post. We recommended to do tracking and hiking through the village and entering the forest. The unusual views can be seen during the track such as The beauty peace bay, etc.

It is about 4-5 kilometers tracking and hiking to reach the first beach. Since the area still virgin, there are no specific accommodation to help the tracking. Best recommended to see this area is in the dry seasons. The wet season may dangerous for slippery track.

    

The greenbay is hiding through the rocky beach, deep in the Merubetiri forest. From the rocky beach, you may follow until find the track behind the cliff. Within the rocky area, there is a beautiful precipice ocean with green colorful water. Afterward you may reach the final wonderful hidden destination. The greenbay itself is about small wide area with green glowing water. The water is very fresh and shining like emerald in the ground. It is also covering by virgin white sand beach and small waterfalls sets on its corner. Enjoying sun batting and swimming may be the best option but you must do very careful since the big wave may be dangerous. There are no life guard in this area so it will be hard to ask help. Doing camping also possible but you must report your activity to the final post at the parking area.

Thus, the best way to get back may use local ship that always available in the area for every 10 persons a trip. During the transportation you will discover stunning wonderful cliff and ocean glowing by the sun shine. It is perfect hidden paradise you will ever see.
