The first beach of Payangan Beach

The Payangan Beach located at Payangan Hamlet, Semberejo Village, Ambulu Village, Jember Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The Payangan Beach has four beach with black sand, three exotic hills and one island. Basically, Payangan Beach was a beach for fisherman but recently began frequented by tourist. So we can buy fresh fish directly from fishermen. But not only that, The Payangan Beach has beautiful spot to explore.

The rocky beach of Payangan Beach

When I reached the Payangan Beach, for first time I found the beautiful curve black sand with the hill in the left side. Because I arrived at noon, the beach feels hot, but the beautiful scenery make the weather issues not important. The second spot that I explored was the second beach behind the hill, the rocky beach. The rocky beach so exotic, I though this beach was good for photography object or selfie background. The rocky beach of Payangan Beach looks exotic because flanked by to hills.

Savanna of Payangan Beach

The next beach behind the second hill no less beautiful. I found savana stretches at the front of the black sand beach, shrubs and grass out spread decorated the beach, so beautiful. But the more interesting, I can climbed the hill and saw more beautiful scenery (all of the Payangan Beach parts) from the top of the hill. But I must step carefully, because no stair to climb the hill.

Climb the hill of Payangan Beach

From the top of the hill, I can saw the first beach with the black sand. I can saw the rocky beach with white foam because the outbreak of the waves. And also, I can saw the savanna and the next another beach. I though, I can saw Watu Ulo (Snake Stone) Beach from the top of the hill. Although, I can not linger on the top of the hill, because the rain is going down, but scenery that I captured was gave my best impression to the beach.

By the way, to reach the beach, we can start from Jember City and find road signs directions to Ambulu District. And follow the street until we find road signs directions to Watu Ulo. And then follow the street until the end of the road. And we will reach The Payangan Beach. Maybe needs almost an hour to reach this beach by the car or motorcycle. We just need pay the parking fees about 3500 rupiahs for motorbike and 5000 rupiahs (the fees and prices can change anytime).

And I also hope The Payangan Beach developing as a better tourist spot. If you visit Jember district do not forget to taking the time to explore the beach.
