Sit, wherever, along the Pelabuhan Ratu bay and, facing the Indian Ocean with sunset you might get the idea of Queen's harbour. Because translating into Harbor Queen, in respect of the Goddess Of The South Sea's, known to the Sudanese people as Nyai Loro Kidul or Ratu Kidul, this legend ever began,... once.

Jakartans come on weekend and holiday. Bandung people love the place, too, and Sukabumi got well-known for it. Taking a rest with sunset and enjoy the breath-taking views of the bay ...

Taking walks uphill from Bunga Ayu hotel, enables you to look down on the horseshoes shape of the bays coastline, whereas at night hundreds of fisherman’s boat lamps are seemingly competing with the star-studded sky above, an unforgettable romantic scenery.
And when I walking here on the sunset....really a romantic feeling....this is special for couple, or honeymoon.....hahahahaha...

Secluded Cove on the Beach

Venture beyond the main beach in front of the town if you want some more privacy. Head to the right and there's a little cove which we had all to ourselves when we were there. If that's already taken, keep going and you may find one of your own. There's also a nice restaurant up on the headland.

Take a walk through the fish market right near the dock to check out the catch of the day. The size of some of the fish here is very impressive. You might have to hold your nose, though, as it gets very smelly.

Bats

There's a cave nearby that's home to thousands upon thousands of bats. Ask an ojek to take you there at dusk to watch them all fly out to go on their nightly feed. They eat mosquitoes, so you might want to consider adopting one to accompany you during the rest of your trip in Indonesia :)

Karang Hawu

ocean-karanghawu-westjava

Karang Hawu (in Dutch Heksenketel, or Witches Kettle) is a rocky, beautiful beach with a legendary cliff, reaching out for the Indian Ocean. Nature all around charms this spot, at about 20 minutes drive from Pelabuhan Ratu. The capricious ocean has beaten some subterranean passages in the cliff, so it looks like a fireplace where its water sissed her way out into the air.

It is told at this very spot the legendary Nyai Loro Kidul jumped into the waves, ... and after plunging into the ocean She'd established Her watery Kingdom and became Ruler over the Underworld, where demons, spirits and devils haunt.

Special note >>> karang means "rock",... Hawu is the same word for Hawah... derived from the Arabic, and is defined as Eva... you feel something peculiar ??? I did when I discovered ...
