Pantai Plengkung (G-Land)

Pantai Plengkung, widely known as G-Land, is a remote surf beach on the southern coast of Alas Purwo National Park in Tegaldlimo, Banyuwangi, East Java. Facing the Indian Ocean in Grajagan Bay, it is internationally renowned for one of the world's longest and most consistent left-hand reef breaks. Surrounded by dense lowland forest, the beach is accessible only through the national park and is primarily visited by experienced surfers and nature tourists.

Visitors can expect a remote, undeveloped beach inside Alas Purwo National Park surrounded by dense tropical forest and facing the Indian Ocean. The coastline features a long sandy bay with a reef break offshore, surf camps and simple lodges set back from the shore, and a natural jungle environment. Visitors can explore the beach, watch surfing, walk along the sand, observe wildlife in the park, and stay overnight in surf camps. Access requires park entry, 4WD tracks and/or boat transfer, with basic facilities.

G-Land was first surfed by international surfers in 1972 after being spotted during an aerial survey of the southeast Java coast. The name G-Land is attributed to Grajagan Bay, the green jungle surroundings and the great waves. Since then it has become one of Indonesia's earliest and most internationally recognized surf discoveries, establishing Banyuwangi as a global surf destination.

Located within Alas Purwo National Park, an area regarded as sacred in Javanese tradition and associated with legends of early Javanese kingdoms. The forest and coastline are respected locally for their natural and spiritual value and are managed as a conservation area.
