It’s not much place you really want to be considering the
traffic in Jakarta could be pain in the @ss. As harsh as it sound, you will
agree when you trapped 2 hours in car just to get through 5 kms distance.

| One of Tanjung Lesung Beach |
One of my favorite places is beach. If I had option between
jungle and beach I would choose beach! Ive spent 6 years with nature and grew
up with buffalos on my backyard… not that I’m not appreciate nature but… seen
that :) done it for years! i want beach if i can!
The plan to Tanjung Lesung not that complicated. I was
looking forward for another Anyer-Carita kind of weekend then I found out something
about Tanjung Lesung. It’s quite far from Carita-Anyer, around 40kms. I was
thinking ITS TOO MUCH for weekend trip!

| The road view to Tanjung Lesung |
To Anyer-Carita itself it took around 4-5 hours due to the
“classic” reason for traffic jam. And in total 10 hours more JUST for weekend
in beach is something not appealing. But then, I found another alternative
driving road from Jakarta to Tanjung Lesung that only 3-4 hours max, the plan seemed
MAKE SENSE for me. All you need is to google your way here. Not pretty much on INTERNET---means its more quiet place.. and i LOVE quiet places... because it will be more clean!
A warning! Tanjung Lesung is known for its EXPENSIVE resorts
and beach with corals and rocks… its not white sandy beach you saw on internet.
Its true… but I just want to see it at least ONCE!

| Tanjung Lesung Resort Gate |
There are several accommodations on the resort area (they
are one group). All of the accommodation is on the same huge area… and it still
half developed with most of road still dirt with tiny pebbles… better not use
your expensive low sedan to get here people!
The biggest and luxurious one is Calica Resort. This resort had villas with 2-3 bedrooms per villa. On weekend the 2 bedroom
villas rent price start from US$376 (they had their own swimming pool/private
pools). This prob best choice for families.
Other options would be Tanjung Lesung Beach Hotels.
The cottages start from US$236 for 2 persons. The hotel is next to Calica.
When we walk by the beach we saw one other “cheaper” options
for this destination… with a tent! Its called Green Coral---.
Its behind the beach house.

| Beach Club sands and activities |
Beach house is where you could do the water sport
activities. The pricing is much cheaper than Bali water sport for sure. But…
uhhh I don’t feel like doing jet ski on low water and corals waiting below… its
not fun at all… I will upload the pricing picture.
With confirmed booking on one of the hotel on the resort
(the cheapest I could find!)—the hotel name is Blue Fish at Bunar B&B complex in Tanjung Lesung Resort. The rate for me is
not “suitable” for backpacking style. Its cost around 976k per night. It’s a
resort anyway…. And yet this is the cheapest among other hotels in same area.
And its still in the same area as other hotel (Tanjung Lesung Resort).
There are probably more cheapest accommodation. I saw more
than 3 “homestay” on the way to Tanjung Lesung Resort. But this homestay not on
internet. I cant find them. One that surely I would recommend would be one
where we eat dinner (Kampoeng Nelayan) its less than 2kms from Tanjung Lesung
Resort on the right side from Jakarta direction.
I found some homestay on website, but cant really remember
if I saw any of these during my trip… but it’s a good options for
budget/backpackers too beside the camping on beach option.
- Home stay Faris
- Homestay Melati
- Adam homestay
- Oce Homestay Cp: Pak Oce 0812 9595 988 (one room is 200k)
To get to Tanjung Lesung Resort you could drive from Jakarta with two options:
- Jakarta-Merak toll road, exit from Serang Timur via Pandeglang-Labuan and straight to Tanjung Lesung
- Jakarta-Merak toll road, exit from Cilegon Timur and going to Anyer-Carita road plus another 40kms to Tanjung Lesung
I definitely won’t regret my option to choose number one,
exit from Serang timur. It took me only 4 freakin hours!! Very relax speed no
rush, the roads quite smooth and this is the first time I ever went through this toll road and goes to
Tanjung Lesung.
I won’t surprise if
anyone could do 3 hours! It’s not that jammed, the scenery is good with
mountains, and the road smooth for a small region. It’s small and on hilly areas quite tricky as
the street small. And yes, unlike the Anyer-Carita street… we didn’t see any
beach until we pass Pandeglang and enter Labuan.

But this option is very good because street in Anyer-Carita
is full with beach and it’s so jammed that possible you will end up spending
over 5-6 hours to get to Tanjung Lesung by this option!
I would definitely will recommend this beach for those who like quiet beach, good for families... and its clean!
