Pantai Panjang, translated to mean Long Beach, in Bengkulu province, boasts a coastline of fine, white sands that stretches 7 km. As the beach has no reefs, its width expands to 500 meters when the tide is low. The beach area is a central tourism district and is lined with restaurants, hotels, cottages and shops. Unlike many beaches, Pantai Panjang has no coconut or palm trees, but is dominated by Spruces and Pines which create a lovely shelter for beach-goers to rest and relax under
