Pantai Sukamade

Pantai Sukamade is a secluded conservation beach located in Sarongan village, Pesanggaran, Banyuwangi Regency, East Java, within Meru Betiri National Park. It is nationally notable as a primary nesting site for endangered green sea turtles. The beach is managed as a turtle conservation area where nesting and hatchling releases are monitored by park rangers.

Visitors can expect a remote, undeveloped dark-sand beach bordered by dense lowland forest inside Meru Betiri National Park. Access is via rough tracks requiring a 4WD vehicle and park permit. The main experience is a guided night tour to observe female green turtles nesting and, seasonally, hatchling releases in the early morning. Facilities are basic with simple homestays and a ranger station. Swimming is generally not the focus due to strong currents and conservation status.

Sukamade has been a turtle conservation site since the early 1970s and became part of Meru Betiri National Park when the park was established in 1982. The area was designated to protect nesting habitat for green sea turtles and other endangered species in the lowland forest ecosystem of southern East Java.
