Rajegwesi Beach, Banyuwangi
Still in Banyuwangi, now our next destination is Rajegwesi beach.
Rajegwesi beach is located in Desa Sarongan, Kecamatan Pesanggaran, Banyuwangi, included to Meru Betiri National Park, in administrative Meru Betiri National Park divided in two region, Banyuwangi and Jember. We will talk about Jember in the next article, but this time we will talk the gate way from Banyuwangi.
But Unfortunately we cant get a public transportation to reach there, so you need to rent a jeep that can bring you to this beach, and actually this is not the final destination, or this is just transit before you arrive to Sukamade the East Java National Resource Conservation which is in charge of sea turtle's perpetuation. you can see a female turtle lay more than one hundred eggs on the sandy beach. The female turtles usually start landing at 7.30pm and return to the sea at 12pm. November to March is the peak season for laying eggs.
If you go to Sukamade by boat, usually the boat driver will bring you directly to Sukamade, but ask them to transit here, they will do surely, because you're the boss, hehehehehe
Actually this beach is "fisherman beach", it mean there no accomodation, restaurant, or anything that provide you to stay or having meal. You can enjoy and see how is the local fisherman daily life, enjoying young coconut that you can buy from the local people, and also swimming, because here the wave is so calm, not like the other beach. Rajegwesi beach has brown sand, it made from sand in the river float off to the beach when flooding.
Not far from the beach area there is an endemic flower of Raflesia, and Japanese cave used by Japanese in the WW II.
By the way, people called this beach Rajegwesi because during World War II Dutch build fence made of iron (Rajeg = fence, wesi = iron). Local people said that there were iron fence at the beach area, but after the advent of Japanese in 1942, the iron fence was gone. Oh, that's why it called Rajegwesi, maybe if they build a tank in this beach, people will call this beach "Iron Tank", heheheheh. Who knows?
