Bama Beach at Baluran National Park
Bama beach was about 3 km away from Bekol Savannah. The beach was a bit messy, the high tide and a colony of macaques that dominated the beach made it even worse. The guard lent my girl an empty riffle to scare the macaques. It worked. They started screaming and running away when the riffle was pointed to them.
After having the experience to visit Karimun Jawa islands and beaches, we didn't feel like playing at Bama beach. We went to the nearby mangrove forest instead. I had never seen such a dense mangrove forest as the one I saw there. The entwining aerial roots were like magical curtains. It was a great visit although we couldn't explore the forest any further because of the hidh tide.
