About
Bedul Beach, (From Banyuwangi - Srono - Muncar - Tegaldlimo - Sumberasri - Bedul), ☎ (0062) 081358423654, [3]. Bedul beach is a scenic beauty. The river that outlets to the ocean is lined with mangrove forests that overshadowed the waters of Bedul. The local community fishes from the river and there is a turtle sanctuary to visit. A guide is greatly recommended for an enchanting day trip were visitors are taken on traditional Javanese boats, the Gondang-Gandung, to discover the wildlife in the park: monkeys, monitor lizards and migratory birds from Australia are amongst some of the species who depend on the 26 different types of mangrove for their sustenance. A cooperation between the village of Sumberasri and Alas Purwo National Park, Mangrove Bedul Ecotourism (MBE) comprises a space of 2,300 hectares of intact mangrove forest with an adjoining lagoon of 18 km. The original idea for the project was given by the community of the village of Sumberasri, in an attempt to restore and protect the mangrove area and all its existing flora and fauna.
