Clungup Beach, Malang Coastal Tourism with Strict Rules Regarding Waste

According to Disway Malang, Clungup's waters are relatively calmer and shallower than many of Java's southern beaches because they are protected by a group of small islands around it. Visitors still need to follow safety instructions from the manager because sea conditions can change.

The entrance fee stated is around IDR 10,000 per person, excluding vehicle parking. The area also provides camping grounds and tent rentals in designated areas.

The Clungup management model shows that natural destinations can combine tourism with restrictions on visitor behavior.

Because the more famous a place is, the greater the risk of waste and pressure on the ecosystem if the number of visitors is not followed by management.

At Clungup, the message starts at the entrance.

What is brought in, should be brought home again.
