Detailed itinerary

Pantai Panjang, translated as Long Beach, has a 7-kilometer expanse of excellent white sands. Because there are no reefs on the beach, its breadth increases to 500 meters during low tide. The beach area is a key tourism center, containing restaurants, hotels, bungalows, and stores. Unlike other beaches, Spruces and Pines dominates Pantai Panjang and provides a good shelter for beachgoers to rest and relax beneath.

The square was established in 2021 and settled magnificently behind the At-Taqwa Great Mosque, which has become an image of Bengkulu. Each side of the building has a separate aesthetic portion with a 35-meter-high tower that can be reached via elevator, providing a clear perspective of Bengkulu. The gorgeous ocean, the structures, and the activity of the boisterous Bengkulu are readily evident from a height.
