Bamboo Beach Café

Top choice in West Java


This old favourite has upped sticks and moved further along the beach (alongside a number of other warungs), but the beach-bum vibe and sunset sea views are just as good as before and it remains the perfect place to scout the swell with a cold Bintang in hand. With luck, someone will grab a guitar and start strumming.

It's 4.5km west of town, and around 20,000Rp by Grab taxi or 10,000Rp by motorbike to get here.
