Parang Ireng Beach, Simply Beautiful!

Ada lokasi lokasi yang tidak tercatat dalam itinerary namun ternyata membuat anda menggeser apa yang tercatat di jadwal perjalanan. Lupakan rencana saat menemukan keindahan di sela kaki melangkah. Hal yang sama terjadi disini, di Pantai Parang Ireng.

Sometimes, the locations which wasn't in the itinerary in fact are those makes you wanna stay and forgot your previous schedule plan. When you found beauty during your footsteps when traveling, don't mind the itinerary. Same thing happen here in Parang Ireng Beach.

G-Land atau Plengkung terkenal sebagai lokasi olah raga selancar yang sangat fantastis. Namun di area ini masih banyak keindahan yang memanggil siapapun, surfer ataupun bukan akan dibuai oleh pemandangan indah yang terdapat di Taman Nasional Alas Purwo, Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur.

G - Land or Plengkung is famous as the ultimate surfing spot. But here in Alas Purwo National Park, there are more beauties calling everyone to come, surfer or not, will be blown away by the scenery here in the national park which located in Banyuwangi, East Java.

Terletak hanya 15 menit perjalanan dari Pantai Plengkung, Pantai Parang Ireng merupakan salah satu pantai favorit saya di Taman Nasional Alas Purwo. Pantai ini memanjang dengan kontur pasir putih kecoklatan yang berupa bulir bulat, seperti merica.

Located only  15 minutes drive from the Plengkung beach, Parang Ireng Beach is one of my favorite in the Alas Purwo National Park. This beach extends making white brownish line of the coast. The sands here shaped like pepper grains, take some sands and feel it in your hands, you'll instantly feel the difference.

a lot of animal footsteps here :)

Namun pesona Parang Ireng bukan hanya pada pasir merica. Pantai yang sepi ini bagaikan pantai pribadi, tanpa banyak turis maka binatang liar banyak berdatangan ke pantai ini. Saya melihat banyak jejak kaki rusa dan kera yang datang ke tepian dimana air tawar mengalir menuju laut.

But the charm of Parang Ireng beach is not only on these sands. No crowds and feels like deserted, being in this place makes you feels like in the private beach. Without a  lot of tourist, so many wild animals coming into this beach. I saw a lot of animal footprints from deers to monkeys which came into the shore where the fresh water flows into the sea.

Tolehkan pandangan ke kanan saat memasuki area Pantai Parang Ireng. Struktur batuan hitam bagaikan lava hitam yang membeku menghiasi pesisir, kontras dengan pasir pantai, lengkap dengan lumut hijau yang tumbuh di bebatuan, bagaikan di bagian dunia lain. Simply beautiful..

See to your right side when entering the beach. Black structures looking like a freezing black lava rocks decorate the coastal area, contrast with the white sands. Green moss also growing on top of some black rocks, making a different view which feels like you're in the other parts of the world. Simply beautiful.
