RRI.CO.ID, Banyuwangi - Banyuwangi offers three distinctive beaches for surfers seeking different wave and water sports experiences. Located on eastern tip of Java, the destination features Red Island, Tabuhan Island, and G-Land with unique surfing conditions.
Red Island Beach, locally known as Pulau Merah, attracts surfers with its consistent waves and sandy seabed. The beach lies about 60 kilometers from Banyuwangi city and takes around two to two-and-a-half hours by road.
Waves at Red Island generally reach two to five meters, creating suitable conditions for surfing practice and competitions. Local surf camps also provide board rentals, basic lessons, and accommodation around the beach.
Tabuhan Island provides a different experience through kitesurfing and windsurfing. Strong winds around the five-hectare uninhabited island propel windsurfers move across its clear surrounding waters.
Visitors can also swim, snorkel, and enjoy the island's white sandy beach between water sports sessions. However, visitors need to bring their own equipment, food, and supplies because there are no rental facilities.
G-Land Beach offers a more challenging experience for experienced surfers along Banyuwangi's southern coast. Located inside Alas Purwo National Park, the beach faces the Indian Ocean and receives powerful waves.
Surfers know G-Land for its legendary left-hand breaks, which can reach six meters. The surrounding tropical forest and remote location also create a quieter atmosphere away from the bustle of urban areas.
These three beaches give surfers different ways to experience Banyuwangi's coastline. Red Island suits surfing practice, Tabuhan supports wind-powered sports, while G-Land attracts surfers seeking powerful Indian Ocean waves.
