Overview

Ujung Genteng is located in Sukabumi Regency, West Java, at the southernmost tip of Java Island bordering the Indian Ocean. Administratively part of Cicarap Sub‑District, Ujung Genteng is about 220 km from Jakarta, reachable in 6–7 hours by private vehicle. From Sukabumi City, the journey takes around 3–3.5 hours. Roads are generally good with several alternative routes, and public transportation is available via Sukabumi, Surade, and Lembur Situ terminals.

This coastal area is famous for its clear waters, coral reefs, and powerful waves. Unlike Pelabuhan Ratu Beach, which is known for dangerous currents, Ujung Genteng’s waves are broken by coral reefs, making them safe for swimming and snorkeling. Visitors can enjoy colorful reef fish, turtle conservation, surfing, waterfalls, caves, and cliffs.
