Ijo Bay is
perfect for travelers who crave a peaceful atmosphere away from the crowds. It
is quite hidden in the southern part of Banyuwangi did make this location still
rarely touchable. But get ready for a long ride lah, no less than 3 hours we
will spend to reach the entrance of the Bay of Ijo which is about 90 km from
the Centre of the town of Banyuwangi. In addition to the far field will, is
also quite heavy. Just imagine the nearly half-way we'll go through untouched
asphalt. Full of holes, mud, with sharp twists here and there. The best way to
get to the Ijo Bay is actually a double four-wheeled vehicles using four
aliases 4WD (four wheel drive). I highly do not recommend to come up with a
regular motorcycle, duck, let alone a matic. Could also use a public transport
vehicle with the menambil route Pasanggaran-Sarongan-Sukomade. Ijo Bay is still
a part of the national parks of Meru Betiri National Park. The operations were
still carried out by the National Park. In addition to the beach with a tint
that is admirable, we can also see the various flora and fauna inhabitants
of Meru
Betiri National Park MR. One of them which is quite surprising for me is the
Rafflesia Flower only blooms in certain months. Rajeg Wesi beach is the
entrance to the Bay of Ijo. From this we can choose to use tracking lines or
fishing boat. If you want more fun, just select both as I do with the blogger
community groups of the more famous Surabaya seconds as dBlogger
Suroboyo. depart I choose tracking, then home straight boat. They become their own
experience. In the rainy season as it is now tracking fields that must be
traversed fairly slick. If not carefully instead of just maybe we slipped in
the abyss. It is indeed only approximately 1 km to the beach, but it could take
two hours to get. The boat ride was no less thrilling. The famous South Beach
waves garang faithfully will accompany the boat that we were travelling.
Fishing boats are only able to accommodate 5 people would be tossed around in
the middle of the ocean, split violently waves, sometimes crashing, sometimes
terayun, tempias-tempias sea water will be hitting us in the face. Really, a
trip to the Gulf that Ijo an adventure unforgettable.
