Karang Bolong Beach (Anyer)

Karang Bolong Beach (Anyer) is a popular beach destination located in Anyer, Banten Province, Indonesia. It is known for its unique geographical feature: a large rock formation with a hole through it, called "Karang Bolong" in Indonesian, which translates to "hollow rock." This rock formation is a primary attraction for visitors.

The beach offers scenic views of the Sunda Strait and, on clear days, views of the volcanic island of Krakatoa. It is a common spot for swimming, sunbathing, and other recreational beach activities. The beach also frequently hosts local vendors selling food, drinks, and souvenirs.

The area around Karang Bolong Beach is developed with resorts and other tourist accommodations, making it a readily accessible weekend getaway for residents of Jakarta and other nearby cities. The beach can become particularly crowded during holidays and peak season.

The "Karang Bolong" rock itself is a significant landmark and provides opportunities for photography and sightseeing. Over time, wave action and erosion have contributed to the hole's formation.

While generally considered safe, visitors should be aware of potential strong currents and wave surges, especially during periods of inclement weather.
