In the West Sumbawa regency there are several attractions beaches. Starting from the beach Maluk, Sekongkang Coast, Tropical Coast, down to the beach Jelengah. Of beach tourism object in West Sumbawa Regency, the Coast Maluk is an object that most attract tourists.
To visit Maluk beach is not very difficult. Transportation facilities required by tourists is available at all times. From Capital NTB, Mataram, it takes about six hours to get to the beach Maluk. About two hours drive using the ferry from the Port of Heaven Lombok. The rest of the journey taken by land.
The beach located in the Village Maluk Maluk, District Jereweh, West Sumbawa regency. From this Maluk beach, tourists can see the charm of the beauty of the Gulf Maluk. Not only that. Maluk beach often used by tourists as a surfing arena. No wonder the world-class surfers at the beach is always scheduled activities Maluk.
Waves on the Beach Maluk has been entered in the list of the best waves for surfers of the world, certainly one manager of a surfboard on the beach Maluk. By the surfers, the waves on the beach Maluk dubbed Super Suck. The nickname was given because of the waves to lands divided by a promontory that the locals named the Cape Ahmad. The surf is rolling up to a height of over two meters. The waves continued to roll in as if to suck up to the surfers who tried to conquer it. Only the savvy surfers are able to conquer the waves Maluk Coast Super Suck.
If tourists do not carry a surfboard, do not worry, many are renting out surfboards. With the waves are so challenging, I wonder if the Coast Maluk to showcase skills of the surfers who come from all over the world. Usually they come at times of holiday. The atmosphere is still relatively quiet beach, making the tourists become more enjoy.
Indeed, compared with coastal tourism in Bali, Beaches Maluk has not been visited by many tourists. Maluk coast still less popular than the Kuta Beach and Sanur Beach. Yet in terms of exotic charm, Cote Maluk no less. And soft white sand and the scorching rays of the sun emits, can make tourists feel at home sunbathing. For tourists who do not want to sunbathe or surf, can spend time with canoeing. Each canoe can be rented at a rate of Rp 5,000 per hour.
Sea Cuisine
Satisfied sunbathing, surfing and canoeing, visitors can fill the stomach with a variety of seafood that appetizing. Enjoying seafood while watching the waves roll romp indeed very delicious. Although starting much visited by tourists, unfortunately the existing facilities still need to be addressed. Indeed facilities at the Beach Maluk impressed still minimal. Facilities such as an open shower, restaurant, beach volleyball arena as well as children's play facilities are already available. It's just that the facility capacity is still minimal. According to the Village Head Maluk, the current facility is actually far enough in comparison a few years ago. About four years ago Maluk Coast is still a lot of overgrown by shrubs. Now much better.
Another problem may be related to the facility stay. It has no hotels with rates ranging from Rp 150,000 - Rp 250,000 per day. But still impressed makeshift facilities. Not to be managed professionally and seriously. However, compared to other beaches in Sumbawa West Coast facility Maluk actually much more appropriate. Coast Sekongkang, for example, even the facilities available arguably inadequate. Lack of promotion makes Sekongkang Coast overshadowed compared with Maluk Coast. Yet even this Sekongkang Coast waves have been categorized as the world's best waves for the surfers. By the surfers, the surf beach with waves Sekongkang dubbed Yoyo. Because the movement of waves on the beach like a yo-yo Sekongkang the bobbing up and down when played by children.
In future the potential for coastal tourism in West Sumbawa regency still can be optimized. If dealt with seriously, could be the exotic charm of the coast of West Sumbawa able to shift the popularity of Bali as a world tourist destination.
