3 Attractions in the Timang Beach

1. Gondola Train

One of the attractions that are of interest to tourists every time visiting Pantai Timang is to ride the Gondola train. Gondala train is a wooden train that is pulled manually by humans to pass large waves that are between the coast to the opposite side of the island of Timang. Most tourists are afraid to try this Gondala, especially below with big waves and strong winds make it sad to pass through. But if you dare to try it will give you an unforgettable sensation and stimulate your adrenaline hormones when you are in the middle of the sea with big waves hitting rock.

By only paying Rp.200,000, you can ride the Gondalan train back and forth while enjoying the beauty of the sea from the coral island in Timang Beach.

The crossing facilities are no less challenging by crossing the suspension bridge. This suspension bridge also functions as a crossing point leading from the beach to the coral island. You will be charged Rp.100,000 per person to pass this place. More expensive than passing the motorway, guest.

3. Coral Island

An interesting place in the Timang Beach in our opinion is in the coral island spot. After we cross with the Gondala Train or Jembantan Hanging, we will be on Karang Island. Here has an amazing sea view with a fresh sea breeze. It is suitable for relaxing for some time. On this coral island is also a place that is widely used by local residents to fish and hunt lobster shrimp.
