Exploring Molang Beach
The first allure in Molang Beach is the soft-textured white sandy shoreline, for sure. It looks clean and neat, which makes it distinct as compared to other beaches in Java Island. Due to the exotic appearance and nice texture, the shoreline becomes the best spot for beach walking and relaxation. One thing, it is better to walk on it barefoot due to the wet and muddy surface.

The next allure is none other than the clear greenish seawater. It is different than others and it has no trash at all. No wonder, the sea looks alluring for swimming and playing water. Unfortunately, tourists are not allowed to get in the water due to the fierce waves. As an alternative, they can approach nearby coral cliffs where many green plants grow. In fact, tourists are able to climb the cliffs and get better views up there.

Here is the consideration. They must prepare both the tent and equipment. Here is a further great thing about the beach. The location is good enough to witness either sunrise or sunset.
