    Sukamade Beach is located within Meru Betiri National Park in Banyuwangi, East Java, and is renowned as a sea turtle conservation site. The beach serves as a nesting ground for several turtle species, including green turtles, olive ridley turtles, and leatherback turtles. Between November and March, visitors can often witness turtles laying their eggs and may even get the chance to release baby turtles (hatchlings) back into the ocean—a major attraction of Sukamade.

    Sukamade Beach is an excellent choice for nature lovers and ecotourism enthusiasts, especially those interested in marine wildlife conservation.

    Our family and I visited this beach back in December of 2022, but i just felt the urge to document and share my experience there now!

    Unfortunately, we arrived at a time when the weather was quite bad. However, strong wind didn't prevent us from enjoying our time! The scenery was still beautiful, and the beach was quite clean, considering all the people and tourists there at the time. Mind you, we visited 7 months ago - not really sure of how the condition is now. The people working there were very friendly too!

    Actually we just drove through the park on the way to Sukamade but even such a ride gave us a glimpse of the rich fauna and nice scenery. Macaques, peacocks and other birds, beach with crabs. Turtles at Sukamade (check my other review of Sukamade beach itself). Nice experience. I’m sure that longer stay would be even more interesting.

    This place was my hidden paridise before it was discovered. Boat trip sleep on the beach overnight. Oh the memories....went there yesterday and still a nice place. Great tor children swimming and snorkeling which is a surprise for indo beaches Has few small Warungs with basics like water and pop mie. A 30 minute hike through the jungle along a trail or a boat ride around the headland. If travelling to red island go to wedi ireng instead no crowds. Take a bottle of water and snacks in case the Warungs are closed. Enjoy.

    This beach seems like my version of the favorite beach in Banyuwangi. The beach is quite hidden, the water is clear greenish. To reach this beach, you can walk from the parking area on the Rajekwesi beach, or rent a boat from a local fisherman for 50k per person round trip, complete with life jackets. Unfortunately on the land, there is still trash at some point. Hopefully in the future, managers and visitors can better maintain the cleanliness of this beach

    It used to be a good place to snorkeling but the coral is under maintenance.
