Famous of western Sumatra is the cuisine of Padang, the
Clock Tower, the home Minang, and so on. Besides West Sumatra also has
beautiful coastal attractions, such as beaches Carocok in South Coastal
district and the beach Air Manis in Padang.
Carocok beach located west of the city Painan. From the city
of Padang took about 2.5 hours by car. During the journey we can see the
landscape green, past the winding roads up and down, on the right side there is
a high hill, while on the left side there is a deep chasm.
Fatigue during the trip will be paid by the beauty of the
beach Carocok. Once in the entrance we can already see the beautiful beach,
entrusted by the people equated beauty with Sanur beach in Bali.
Admission area of the beach is 5 thousand rupiah, we can
play water at the beach or a stroll on the bridge that juts into the sea. One
end of the bridge leading to the island Stone Train. First, to get to this
island had to wait for the tide is low, since the bridge was built, tourists
can at any time to the island Stone Train.
Other islands that can be visited around the coast Carocok
is Cingkuak island, to reach this island we could ride a motor boat that exist
on this bridge, with a rate of 10 thousand rupiah per person. Cingkuak on the
island we can see the ruins of the Portuguese fortress, reputedly where the
Portuguese first landed on the island of Sumatra. On this island there is also
a tomb inscription of the Portuguese. On this island we not only can enjoy the
white sand and the clear sea water and swimming. But it can also try adrenaline
sports such as snorkeling, banana boat or jetski with an average rental rate of
25 thousand rupiah per person.
As the sun began to sink, visitors can selfie on the bridge
with sunset background that bounced over the oceans are connected with oceans
Indonesia. In addition to this location, visitors can also enjoy the sunset on
the hilltop Langkisau. Located not far from the beach Carocok, we could use the
car to the summit of this, but need to be careful because the nets filled with
twists and climbs higher. Or we could use the services of the local people who
experienced motorcycle.
The next goal is the beach Air Manis, also called beach
Malin Kundang, because there are stones that resemble human figures
prostration, shipwreck terdampat, rope slapping, and so on, which is folklore
about rebellious child to his mother, because the child has been successfully
rich in Overseas, while returning home he did not menganggab birth mother.
Sweet Water Beach is located in the district of South
Padang. Visitors who come here, usually are interested in the stone that
resembles the prostrate man, though landscapes are also very beautiful beach.
Selfie regular visitor at the prostrate man near the stone.
If the sea is receding, there is the road to Banana Island,
a small island just off the coast of Sweet Water, which can be visited simply
by walking. But if the sea water is not abating, we simply enjoy the beautiful
beaches Sweet Water just that the water is clear and clean, just enjoy views of
the island of bananas from a distance only.
The journey to and back to the city of Padang on the coast
of the Sweet Water takes only 30 minutes when riding a car or a motorcycle. But
be careful, because the road is tortuous and up and down, while the width of
the road is only about 4 meters even though the asphalt road. Use the services
of the rider who understand very well this way.
