Location:
Jayapura, Papua, Indonesia
5-7 kms from central town of Jayapura towards the East side (15 mins from the central town)
right side of the beach (above); left side (below)
My experience there:
The beach is quite long to walk. It is pretty clean as well.
Unlike beaches I've been to, this one is a bit 'special' to me personally because it has two unique sides. Let's imagine 'right' and 'left'. On the right side of the beach, you can snorkel and find a lot of seaweeds and nice corals. On the other side of the beach, it is pretty rocky. You need to walk for about 50-70meters to get a deeper water on some rocks and dead corals. What's nice from the left side is that sometimes you can play with some fish and crabs (in and without shell).
The wave is pretty calm so the beach is safe to swim or dive in.
Oh, one more thing that's nice about going to this beach is that you have two options how to enter/exit. There is a road that you can get through by cars and there's another option for you who feel like going through a forest. There is a small path you can go through right on the right corner of the beach. It is near the toilet. The path takes you to hiking a small hill and also to the view from the top to see the beach. The forest is safe and indeed an unique way to enter the beach.
Facilities:
Reachable by angkot (local 'taxi'), no food/snacks vendors,
lots of small cottages, toilets and a few of dogs!
Prices:
Angkot (taxi) from the central town is IDR2500-3000. Just say "Pantai Base G" to the driver.
For the entrance fee they only charge IDR1000/person.
