Tour Boats in Glagah Beach
It would feel a bit incomplete to enjoy the relaxing and refreshing shore of Glagah without getting around on the tour boats. The ride in
Glagah Indah Lagoon is a real attraction for visitors especially on holidays. You can feel the hissing waves and breeze on the boat, while beautiful shoreline gives the eyes some kind of enjoyment as you observe your east and west.
The lagoon’s scenic view is actually a small harbor for tour boats, which are ready to take you around to see how beautiful
Glagah Beach is. You can find this lagoon as soon as you enter the tourism area. With streams heading for a nearby estuary, the lagoon splits the shore into two, namely the location in which beach plants and grasses grow and the other location which consists of sand dunes and borders with the sea. You can get across by boat to the sand dunes area, which is not far from the estuary. Going around enjoying the beach on the boat is really a moment you will relish.
Both visitors and local people like to fish in this lagoon. But aside from that, there are 11 boats ready to add to tourists’ enjoyment on
Glagah Beach. Enjoying the beach on a boat can take you away for a while from your routine activities. The boat rider will take you and your group around the beach for about 25 minutes.
Doing some sand play and sunbathing on
Glagah Beach are probably what you look for. But going around the location on a boat is something more. You can rent a boat, which is available there. The tour will be on if there are at least 10 people in the boat though. So you may have to wait for a while. But it is always fun there because you can take pictures on the boat or on the shore while waiting for the other passengers. What is more, the 25 minute boat tour is available at a very cheap price, which is Rp 3,000 each person.
