South Malang is often known by travelers because of its very exotic southern coast. Some of them are already widely known by foreign tourists while some others are slowly starting to show their charm. Tamban Beach is one of the various beach resorts in Malang, maybe not many tourists know about it. However, Tamban Beach Tourism actually does not differ much in its charm from Sendang Biru Beach. This is because the two beaches face Sempu Island.

Tamban beach location

The location of Tamban Beach itself is located in Tambakrejo Hamlet, Ds. Tambakrejo, Kec. Sumbermanjing Wetan, Kab. Malang, East Java. For the route to Tamban Beach, if you are from Malang, you can pass the route to Sendang Biru Beach Tourism until you find directions to the left that go straight to Tamban Beach. The location is quite far, considering its location which is in South Malang. To get to the location using a motorized vehicle takes at least about 3 hours of travel.

Tamban Beach route

Part of the route to Tamban Beach has been paved and can be passed by motorized vehicles without significant obstacles. There are only a few winding roads and the occasional up and down, but not too steep. Although there are guides available, the route to Tamban Beach is a little confusing. Therefore, make sure to remember the paths so you don’t get confused when you go home.

Tamban Beach Tourism does not include South Malang Beach Tourism which is crowded with visitors, however, the atmosphere of a calm beach and the expanse of brownish white sand on the shoreline add to the exotic impression of this beach. From the shoreline you will be presented with a beautiful view of the sea off the south coast and following some parts of Sempu Island. Around the beach there are also special locations for snorkeling and swimming with warm water temperatures.

So, for those of you who want to go around the beach or want to stop by Sempu Island, you can rent a fishing boat that floats on the beach. By walking around the beach, you can be more satisfied spending your vacation time with family and friends. But still be careful when walking around. Considering that the sea on Tamban Beach is directly connected to the Indian Ocean, it is certain that the waves will be slightly bigger than most beaches offshore which are not connected to the ocean.

There is one more hidden charm of Tamban Beach, which is located to the east of the beach, that is, there is an estuary called Kedung Ijo which is quite large with clear and fresh water. But to be able to enjoy this spot you have to be willing to walk up the hill.

For those of you who like fishing, you can fish from the top of the cliff. The stream of water originating from Kedung combs the cliff and conjures large piles of rocks into rather small rock fragments due to abrasion. The spread of these many rocks is the main attraction for tourists. Finished to the east, you can move to the north of Kedung, where there is a kind of big pool that you can use for swimming.

History

The history of Tamban Beach itself begins with the story of three kyai. The word Tamban in Javanese means medicine (tombo). The naming of this beach itself originated from the time when three clerics cleared the forest near Tamban Beach for the first time and this beach was used as a source of drinking and medicine for the three in the 1880s. While clearing the forest, the three clerics felt tired and thirsty, so the three of them drank sea water because they couldn’t find fresh water anywhere. That’s why they dub the beach water as “tantam water”.

Not only does the charm of the beach have charm, Tamban Beach also has a unique culinary wealth. Around the beach there are several stalls that provide a menu of food with a mainstay menu in the form of grilled fish. There is also accommodation for tourists who want to linger on the beach. If you want to visit this beach, don’t forget to bring fresh fish souvenirs for your family back home. Hopefully useful and holiday spirit.
