In late January 2026, I had the opportunity to visIt the one of the most beautiful landmarks in Jember, East Java. A beach on the southern coast of Java called Pasir Putih Malikan Beach, better known as Papuma Beach. It is located in Lojejer Village, Wuluhan District, around 45 kilometers south of Jember City.
What Makes Papuma
Beach Interesting
Papuma Beach has clear
greenish seawater and many coral reefs scattered along the coastline, making the
scenery even more beautiful. Each reef has its own unique shape, creating a
variety of stunning views across the beach. However, visitors should be careful
when swimming because of the rocky areas and strong waves.
We had dinner at a local
seafood restaurant near where our car was parked (unfortunately, I forgot the
restaurant’s name). The restaurant served fresh seafood with various seasoning
options. We chose the fresh seafood ourselves, including fish, shrimp and squid,
which could be either grilled with spices or deep-fried in flour.
After finishing
dinner, we went back to our hotel because the night was falling, and the road
did not have much lighting. Honestly, I felt a little bit scared while passing through
the exit route, which was different from the entrance road. The road was narrow
and poorly lit, while the sea was directly beside the road on the left side.
