Base G Beach

Base G Beach (Pantai Base G) is a sandy beach located in Tanjung Ria, Jayapura Utara District, Jayapura City, Papua, Indonesia, facing the Pacific Ocean. Named after a World War II Allied base designated 'Base G,' it is known for its white sand, clear blue water, and relatively calm waves. The beach is a popular recreational area for residents and visitors, offering coastal scenery with views of nearby hills and easy access from central Jayapura.

Visitors can expect a curved stretch of light-colored sand bordered by hills and facing the Pacific Ocean with clear blue water and generally calm waves suitable for wading and swimming. The beach area has open sand, shaded gazebos, and food stalls along the shore. Visitors can walk along the coastline, swim, take photographs of the ocean and surrounding hills, and relax in sheltered seating areas with views of the bay.

The beach is named 'Base G' after the Allied military base established in the Jayapura (then Hollandia) area during World War II. The area served as a logistics and operational base for Allied forces in the Pacific campaign, and the name has been retained for the beach in Tanjung Ria.

Base G Beach is a well-known recreational and social gathering place for residents of Jayapura and surrounding communities, used for family outings, picnics, and local leisure activities, reflecting its role as a popular public coastal space in Papua's capital city.
