Popular tourism site in Kelet, Jepara. Found a lot of people from out of town whenever I visited the Portuguese Fort. Have to pay the ticket for entering the area. Inside the gate, they have a complex of beach with big rocks at the seashore and small restaurants. Perfect place for photo hunting, especially during sunset. Recommended in Jepara.

The surrounding view is quite great .. but it seems nothing interesting to do here .. as far as I see, staring the sea view, fishing, having a chat at bench are things people do. oiya u can also take a fisherman boat to bring you to small island called Mandalika Island .. unfortunately, I didn't know bout the price
