Pulau Merah, Banyuwangi Overview

Known as the Red Beach, Pulau Merah has its own island which has red soil and green vegetation and is popular for its soft sandy beach and a long coastline. This beach is easily accessible from Banyuwangi’s city center. Pulau Merah lies about 60 kilometers south of the city and it will take about two and a half hours’ drive to reach this marvelous shoreline. It’s difficult to find public transport around there and hence it is recommended to hire a car while visiting this beach.

Pulau Merah is a popular international surfing spot and has also hosted many pro surfing competitions. You’ll find a lot of people snorkeling along the coral reefs out to sea.

The sunset at Pulau Merah is spectacular and you can hire yourself a beach bed for 50,000 IDR to relax and watch the waves roll with the stunning view of the golden sunset behind.
