No doubt it is a world of surfer paradise. Most surfers start from Bali, take an overland to Banyuwangi and directly to National park of Alas Purwo, G-Land or cross the Grajagan Bay to Plengkung beach where the waves challeng invite the surfers. However, it is not recomended for novices. (Dinas Pariwisata Seni dan Budaya Kabupaten Banyuwangi)

Do you love mountain?
Banyuwangi has Mount Raung, which can be seen from Bali island, too.

This mountain is not far from the other mountain - Mt. Ijen. Both Mt. Raung & Ijen are very interesting mountains to visit. Mt. Ijen or Ijen crater has a traditional sulfur mine.
The scenery around this area is certainly beautiful.
