Pangandaran

A well-known surfing beach has made Pangandaran a popular tourist destination.

[citation needed] On 17 July 2006, an undersea earthquake measuring 7.7 on the moment magnitude scale triggered a tsunami that engulfed the resort area and caused destruction as far inland as half a kilometre.

On either side to the east and to the west of Pangandaran village and the National Park isthmus are two beaches of volcanic black sand.
