Anyer

A significant coastal town late 18th century, Anyer faces the Sunda Strait.

The town was a considerable port in the 19th century but was destroyed by a 100-foot-high tsunami which was caused by the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa.

The present settlement still houses the Cikoneng Lighthouse built by the Dutch government two years later as a memorial for the townspeople killed by the eruption.

[2] It was also the starting point of the Great Post Road, built by the Dutch in the nineteenth century, which ran around 1,000 kilometers (620 mi) to the eastern tip of Java.

Anyer Beach is a tourist attraction with hot swimming water, a hotel, and rental of resting sheds, boats, four-wheeled motorcycles, water scooters, and a banana boat.
