5 Tourist Destination You May Not Know In East Java

East Java has many well known destination spot such as Mount Mahameru or Ijen Crater. But Have you ever known about this place? This Places is recently discovered and have stunningly beautiful view. If you plan to travel to East Java then you must visit this place, although most of the place is surrounded by forest or has difficult access but you will not regret visiting this places for this places offer natural beauty from mother of nature. Lets check the list below.

1. Pantai Teluk Hijau

Teluk Hijau or famously known as Green bay beach is located at Banyuwangi, 7 hours from Capital city of East Java Surabaya. It's located inside Meru Betiri National Park. It was named after its water, which tend to green colored. It has white sand. If you like to go camping you can camp near the beach, but beware of wildlife there. If you want to swim in the beach you can swim because the tide is not so big and there is a waterfall near Green Bay, you can take a bath after swimming in the beach there. You has to walk across forest of Meru Betiri to arrive to the beach. The journey is very difficult because its roads are slippery and tend to be muddy when it's rainy. But it was worth it.

2. Coban Sewu

Coban Sewu is a site of waterfalls, located in the border of Lumajang and Malang. Its name is translated to Thousand Waterfalls because it has many waterfalls in the site. Coban Sewu is very hard to reach because it's surrounded by forest and when it's rainy the waterfall tend to flood. But, it has amazing view. Just be careful to go there.

3. Pantai Klayar

Pantai Klayar is located in Pacitan, the most south-western District in East Java. You can find white sand, sphinx like big cliff (okay it's not like sphinx, just the size), and natural sea fountain which can 'sing' and sound like flute when it's hit by tide. The access to the beach is very difficult because it's not well known beach although the scenery is very beautiful. You cannot swim in this pleace because it has big cliff and big tide. I recommend to visit this beach in weekdays because it wont be crowded and feel like a private beach. 

4. Pantai Tiga Warna

Pantai Tiga Warna is translated to Three colored beach. It's named after its water which tend to change color according to the level of deep sea. You can go snorkeling here. To enter this beach is very difficult because it's limited only for 12 people, you must join with other people if your group isn't reach 12 people, and you must rent a guide tour to go to the beach for Rp 100.000 or about $10 for 12 people.  But you will see the unique once you get there and enjoy the beach. It has very clean environment.

5. Gili Labak

Gili Labak is an Island in the Sumenep district. To go there you have to use ferry. Gili labak is famous for snorkeling because it has beautiful reef below the sea. From Surabaya, you must go to the Madura Island, then to the Kangean Island, and using ferry you go to the Gili Labak. Gili Labak is like Gili Trawangan in Lombok, except it' cheaper, more isolated, and more hard to reach but the beauty of the island is promising. I recommend you to take one of local people who can speak English as guide tour. Because many people there doesn't speak english.
