The waves and strong currents on this beach are also a tourist attraction. Unfortunately, the current is quite strong so that tourists are not allowed to swim too far from the shoreline for fear that it will threaten life safety.
Although visitors are not allowed to swim, tourists are allowed to stay overnight by building a tent.
Not only has an attractive charm, this beach also has a unique history. Before being named as China Goa Beach, this beach was first named Rowo Indah Beach. Its name began to change when a monk from China came to the place in 1930, who made the location a hermitage.
Even from a distance, there is a cave that is believed to be the place of the monk's hermitage. Tragically, the monk never left the place and was declared dead when only his bones were found.
Inside the hermitage, there are also Chinese writings on each cave wall and a bowl as a complement.
On the Goa Cina beach, tourists can do some activities such as camping, playing in the sand, taking pictures, and culinary delights because there are so many stalls that offer a variety of light to heavy meals with the relatively cheap prices.
Visitors only need to pay Rp5,000/person to enter and enjoy the beauty of this Goa Cina beach. If using a private vehicle, a special additional fee will be charged for vehicle parking around Rp5,000 for motorbikes and Rp10,000 for the car.
The tourist area of ??Goa Cina Beach is equipped with a number of facilities that are considered complete enough to meet the needs of visiting tourists such as bathrooms, prayer rooms, and food stalls.
Well, that's interesting information when visitors want to visit Goa Cina Beach in Malang. Enjoy!
