Balekambang
Balekambang is a small village on the southern coast of East Java, seventy kilometers past the town Malang, two hours drive from it to south. It is well-known for its long beautiful white sandy beach as well as the similarity of its temple to Tanah Lot in Bali.
In Balekambang there are three small rocky islands namely Ismoyo Island, Wisanggeni Island, and Anoman Island, which are surrounded by the seas as well. That is the Indonesian Ocean whose huge waves frighten many overseas cruisers. Those names are taken from “wayang” figures (Java traditional puppets).
