A white sandy beach with pristine light blue waters overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Quiet and undisturbed, yet not so far from the city center. The gazebos there are for rent though and preferable for a long rest in groups. Though entrance to the beach is free, beware of rip-offs from locals.
A new landmark of Jayapura.
A local harbor beach near the city. On the beach are four large artillery emplacements from the World War II. Further down the beach are the local fish markets. The beach is not very well-kept and covered in rubbish. However, at night a number of food stalls are set up and provides plenty of atmosphere. Also the new Holtekamp Bridge nearby is quite an eye-catching phenomenon.
An equivalent to Seattle's Kerry Park or Los Angeles' Griffith Park, the park on the mountain has a wide and perfect view of the Jayapura city and the bay it nestles in.
A white sand beach.
Danau Sentani
A large freshwater lake surrounded by steep mountains. A small number of restaurants and guesthouses are located on the edge of the lake.
