Enchantment Ujung Genteng


Sukabumi has many beautiful natural attractions and natural, one of which is Ujung Genteng. Around 70 kilometers south of sukabumi, or if we depart from Jakarta about 250 kilometers. The distance that we traveled through the land route could take almost 6 hours away, because we passed several small towns like CICURUG CIBADAK famous and quite crowded and dense. After we pass through the small town we are going through a winding road that twists and turns, and in addition we are treated to either side of the beautiful scenery along the journey. Edge tiles, including the southern coastal areas of West Java. And one of the famous beach here is Pengumbahan Beach at the End of tiles, white sandy beach which is smooth and the preferred place to drop in green turtles lay their eggs. Coastal areas, which are used turtles to lay their eggs wide reach approximately 110 hectares.

Ujung Genteng beach beauty is not only beaches are clean and a virgin, but here we can also enjoy the beautiful sunrise and sunset in the beauty of twilight. Here we can also relax with your family, because the beach in this UjungGenteng there is no such big waves, as underlined by the beach was detained coral reefs. So that the water is safe to play with family and other beach activities.

One of the preferred beaches or green turtle Chelonia mydas Latin name for spawning is Pengumbahan Beach, because the closest spot strike three other turtle habitat was the region south of sukabumi. Turtle turtle egg-laying season is between the months of August to March, because each season a turtle lay eggs 3-4 times as much. And in this spawning season tens and even hundreds of turtles that lay eggs. Because of this pengumbahan coast closest beach to the street, in the month this month tersebutlah crowded beaches visited by tourists to see these turtles turtles lay their eggs. We can see the process of reproduction of turtles lay their eggs in their original habitat.

To reach this beach is located approximately 5 kilometers from the main road, for there we have to hire a motorcycle taxi that was experienced by the field towards the coast. Because for how to get there we must go through a path that only a 1 car and not paved, and we also passed a small creek river not to mention the road very slippery when wet. To get to this area you are advised to hire a motorcycle taxi-motorcycles only from residents,

Many egg-laying turtles usually at night, we can see the turtles lay eggs assisted by the public about who guarded turtle turtle conservation. We will walk lane beach at night, seeing traces of turtle tracks that will lay eggs with a flashlight assisted as a means of illumination. With any luck we’ll see a turtle that was laying, animals known to be very slow when running. Turtle takes a very hard struggle to lay their eggs and they are very selective to find a place to lay eggs, nest excavation will be stopped if the turtle suddenly see garbage or tree branch. Turtle eggs for ping pong balls, and turtle eggs have the protein content very much. Therefore many people who want to eat turtle eggs – the turtle, but it is also a lot of turtle meat into the human food and the body shell turtle is also preserved for many ornaments made.

Turtle was laying eggs can reach 100-200, and from 1000 hatching eggs and turtle children after moving to the beach ready. Only 2 to 5 turtles can survive and reach reproductive age to spawn again. Ironic because now lots of people who hunted meat and turtle eggs, and other turtles die in fishing nets affected by fishing, eat fish and other sea turtle enemies. The most dangerous and is caused by man, because this egg-free market for commercial gain and the price is high enough. And so many people are looking for.


In maintaining this green turtle population of the region Ujung Genteng sukabumi particular, local governments had regulations about tax rivisi swallow bird, turtle eggs, etc.. So by the people around the trade of turtle eggs are not freely traded. Looks like the turtle conservation need to be dealt with by the people around, so rare and protected animals can be used together as the tourist potential continues to exist.
