Panimbang
Spend a half day in Panimbang for the beach and market; add a night at Tanjung Lesung resort if you want beach‑front accommodation.
Panimbang is a small coastal town in Pandeglang Regency, Banten. It sits on Teluk Lada, offers quiet beaches, a traditional market and easy access to Tanjung Lesung peninsula and Ujung Kulon National Park. A half‑day visit covers the market and a beach stop; an overnight stay is worthwhile only if you stay at a resort on the peninsula.
