Tanjung Layar Beach

Tanjung Layar Beach is a coastal attraction in Sawarna Village, Bayah District, Lebak Regency, Banten, on the southern coast of Java facing the Indian Ocean. It is notable for two large offshore rock formations resembling sails, which give the beach its name. The beach features white sand, coral rocks, and strong waves. It is part of the Sawarna beach cluster and is known for scenic ocean views, photography, and sunset viewing.

Visitors can expect a wide sandy beach backed by coastal hills facing the Indian Ocean, dominated by two iconic sail-shaped sea stacks just offshore. The shoreline is a mix of white sand and coral rock with strong waves. Areas to explore include the main beach, rocky outcrops at low tide, and viewpoints for photography and sunset. Facilities are basic and the setting is relatively natural and undeveloped compared to resort beaches.

The beach is named Tanjung Layar (Cape Sail) after its two prominent sea stacks that resemble sails. It has long been known to local fishing communities and developed as part of the Sawarna coastal tourism area in Lebak Regency.

The beach is part of the local coastal community life in Sawarna Village, where fishing and emerging beach tourism are important livelihoods, and is valued as a natural landmark of southern Banten.
