This beach is one of the tourist icons in Banyuwangi
This beach is one of the tourist icons in Banyuwangi. Road access to the location is still not good. But on the beach itself, we can enjoy a shady beach atmosphere. Entrance ticket is relatively cheap. On the beach, we can rent lounge chairs for 2 people for 20k per hour. There are also young coconut ice sellers, and several food vendors around.

just one word : WOW
as many people talking about it lately we decide to feed our curiosity and went to this place on nyepi holiday. It took about 1 hour 45 mins (about 75km) drive with our scooters from ketapang. I could say 75% of the road was ok and the last 15kms was not in good condition, holes everywhere, narrow street, but it just a typical indonesian country road in java. Every effort reaching this place was well paid off at the moment we saw the beach. we were gasping and just amazed by the beauty of this place.. just like bali 10-15 years ago. day beds and umbrellas are available for rent, cheap food, clean and very well looked after by the locals. we had a chance to talked with the chief of the local group that maintain this area, and also the lifeguards which were trained by the australian and bali lifeguard. All of them are volunteers, and don't have any payroll from the local government. so when you visiting this place, don't complain to much. make a contribution to the locals by paying the entrance ticket which cost you nothing, rent their daybeds, buy their foods, because this is what keep this place safe and clean. I would definitely come again to this place..!

Public transport to Pulah Merah
There is public transport to Pulah Merah Beach. Just to correct a previous post. Option 1: Coming from Bali you can catch a bus from Ubung Bus terminal in Denpasar. Ask in the Ubung terminal for the bus that either stops or passes through Jajag, East Java. It will take approximately 7 hours this includes the ferry crossing from Gilimanuk, Bali to Bunyuwangi, East Java. On arrival in the Jajag bus terminal, catch a bemo or bus to Pesanggaran, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. The bus will stop at the bus stop outside the hospital in Pesanggaran. Depending on what time you arrive in Pesanggaran you could catch the 13:00hr bus to Pulah Merah beach otherwise you will have to use a motorbike taxi, approximately 20 minutes. Option 2: Coming from West Java ensure that you catch a bus to Jajag which could be via Jember. I cannot give any approximate bus fares at this moment. Option 3: From Bunyuwangi as for option 1. Approximately 2 hours to Jajag.
