Hi everyone..
Hope all is well and I know that this pandemic is still around but we have to be able to stay safe, happy and healthy.
Do you miss traveling around?
I do. I certainly do.
And the beach is one of the places I am craving for.
Born and raised in Lampung, I am blessed to be given the opportunity to enjoy lines of beautiful beaches dotting Lampung and Semangka Bay and beyond. One of them is called Mutun beach.
Mutun Beach is one of the people's favorite beaches in Lampung. Located in Lampung Bay and a part of Pesawaran, this place is a favorite because of its location which is relatively easy to reach. It has clean and powdery, white sand shore and its facilities are quite complete.
If you are familiar with Bandar Lampung, the route to reach this beach is almost the same as the other beaches in the vicinity. We can reach this place by car, heading to Hanura and Ketapang Markets, via Jl. Raya Way Ratay. Indeed, we are often blocked by traffic because the road is rather small and it has heavy traffic due to many crowded fish markets, as well as beautiful beaches around it.
Mutun beach is quite clean and spacious as it has a long coastline.
But when it is crowded, it can be filled with many visitors, especially during holidays (before the Corona pandemic).
The entrance ticket is IDR 25000 per car (including passengers in it) and you will have to pay in the gate.
Here we can swim, enjoy various water sports (there is a banana boat) and rent a boat to go around on the small islands around it. We can also rent boats for hop on and hop off to Tangkil island, Pahawang island, Kelagian, or even Tanjung Putus.
There are bamboo houses or huts that can be rented for IDR 100K for one visit.
There are also many sellers of food and souvenirs and swimming equipment for those who need them. Usually we bring our own food for a picnic here. Or you can also buy food at various Padang restaurants and other food stalls that are along the road to this beach. If you want to buy food in the beach area, they mostly sell instant noodles in the cup, meatballs and rujak or fresh cut fruits with sweet peanut and chili sauce. and they have lots of fresh coconut, too.
The parking lot is safe and spacious. Usually we give extrar tip (if you want to) to the parking attendants who were there.
Here's the video we made on our visit to Mutun Beach, Pesawaran, Lampung.
The beach is open again with health protocol being strictly observe.
Enjoy the beach and please, please, please, stay safe, happy and healthy
Pantai Mutun juga menjadi salah satu pantai yang kerap dikunjungi wisatawan yang mampir ke Lampung. Terletak di Teluk Lampung dan menjadi bagian dari Pesawaran, pantia ini menjadi favorit karena letaknya yang relatif mudah dijangkau, pasir putihnya yang halus, lautnya yang lumayan bersih dan fasilitas yang cukup lengkap .
Rute untuk mencapai pantai ini hampir sama dengan pantai lain yang berada di sekitarnya, yaitu menuju Pasar Hanura dan Ketapang, lewat Jl. Raya Way Ratay. Memang kita kerap terhadang macet karena jalan yang agak kecil dan lalu lintas padat karena banyak pusat keramaian seperti tempat pelelangan ikan dan pasar, serta pantai - pantai cantik yang ada di sekitarnya.
Pantainya cukup bersih dan luas, namun kalau sedang ramai bisa dipenuhi banyak pengunjung, khususnya saat libur (sebelum pandemi Corona). Tiket masuk Rp 25000 per mobil (termasuk penumpang di dalamnya). Di sini kita bisa berenang, menikmati aneka olahraga air (ada banana boat) serta menyewa kapal untuk keliling di pulau - pulau kecil di sekelilingnya. Kit juga bisa menyewa kapal untuk hop on dan hop off ke pulau Tangkil, pulau Pahawang, Kelagian, atau bahkan Tanjung Putus.
Tersedia rumah panggung atau hut yang bisa disewa Rp 100K untuk sekali kunjungan. Banyak juga penjual makanan dan souvenir maupun perlengkapan berenang bagi mereka yang membutuhkan.
Biasanya kami membawa makanan sendiri untuk piknik di sini. Atau bisa juga membeli makanan di aneka restoran Padan dan warung makan lainnya yang ada di sepanjang jalan menuju pantai ini. Kalau ingin membeli makanan di dalam kawasan pantai, yang banyak dijuali adalah mie instan kemasan, bakso dan rujak.
Lahan parkir yang tersedia pun aman dan luas.
Biasanya kita memberikan tip lagi (jika berkenan) kepada para tukang parkir (dadakan) yang ada di sana.
Btw, pantai ini sudah dibuka juga untuk umum selama masa new normal ini. Tapi tetap jangan lupa pakai masker, jaga jarak dan rajin cuci tangaaan ya.
Selamat menikmati pantai ini dan jangan lupa untuk selalu menjaga kesehatan ya.
