Banten

The westernmost province of Java, with its capital Serang, Banten is famous for long, beautiful beaches overlooking the Sunda Strait that separates Java from Sumatra. One of the most sought after beaches is sandy Anyer beach, a very popular weekend destination for Jakartans, who can reach in two hours by car, hence giving them more than just an alternative to flying to one of the many remote, exotic islands Indonesia has to offer.
