Kiluan Bay

Kiluan Bay is a coastal bay and beach area located in Kiluan Negeri Village, Kelumbayan District, Tanggamus Regency, Lampung, Indonesia, facing the Indian Ocean and Sunda Strait. It is widely known for resident bottlenose and spinner dolphins that can be observed on early-morning boat trips. The bay features white sandy beaches, clear waters, small islands and a traditional fishing village setting, making it a notable marine ecotourism destination in southern Sumatra.

Visitors can expect a relatively remote, natural bay with white sandy beaches, clear blue water, and views of small offshore islets. The main experience is an early-morning boat trip from the fishing village to open waters to observe pods of wild dolphins. On shore, visitors can swim, relax on the beach, explore the lagoon area, and experience a simple fishing village atmosphere with basic homestays and food stalls. Facilities are modest and the access road is winding and partly unpaved.

The bay is home to a traditional fishing community in Kiluan Negeri village, where livelihoods are based on fishing and increasingly on community-based marine ecotourism centered on dolphin tours and homestays.
