Previously, this beach was often visited by a group of primates living on the opposite coral island. Now the animals are nowhere to be seen, all that is left is the name.
You can recognize it as the Tapak Kera Beach. This beach adds to the long list of tourist destinations in the Lampung area.
With beautiful panoramas that have not been touched by many people, this beach promises an amazing self-portrait backdrop with rows of exotic rocks.
Initially, local residents called this area the name Penampa Kekha. In Lampung language, the name has a meaning where the apes rest and gather. As the number of people who came to this location increased, the pronunciation was changed to Monkey Site.
The location of this beautiful beach is in Kenjuruan Hamlet, Kalianda District, South Lampung Regency. The location of the beach is hidden and still difficult to reach because of inadequate road access.
To get to the beach from Bandar Lampung, it takes more than two hours. Point the vehicle towards the Kalianda area. After arriving at the Kalianda Resort T-junction turn right, following the main road to the marina beach.
Arriving at the junction of the Kenjuruan Hamlet, look for a mosque on the left side of the road and the road from the ground to the Biru Laut Khatulistiwa (BLK) factory. Enter and follow the dirt road about 300 meters to meet the trail.
A Bit of Origin and Mystical Stories on Tapak Kera Lampung Beach
The locals named this beach in Lampung as Penapa Kekha, which means Ape Bertapa. It is said that this beach was once a place to find food and a place to play a group of wild apes.
When the water recedes, these wild monkeys cluster out of Karang Island opposite the beach. Maybe they are tired too, do you live on the island? That's why they occasionally pranced on the mainland. Yuhuu!
But for some reason, now the monkeys never appear again. Whether the factor is the crowds of visitors who go in and out of the beach, or maybe they have knitted the story in a new place. I have no idea …
And behind its stunning charm, the local community believes that the Tapak Kera Beach is also inhabited by stealth crocodiles. The story is further strengthened by the presence of rocks that resemble the shape of a crocodile on this beach.
No wonder the locals often advise visitors not to talk carelessly or do things that are as long as they are around the beach.
Regardless of facts or myths, what is certain is that the story behind the Lampung Ape Tread Beach will in no way reduce the beauty in it.
So, whatever the reason that led you to travel to Lampung, the Lampung Tapak Kera Beach is one of the tourist destinations that you must visit. Come on to Lampung!
