Watu Ulo Beach
Ulo is one of the tourist sites which lies on the Indonesian
ocean. There is beautiful scenery at this site and it
is the perfect place to enjoy the sea. It is called "Watu
Ulo" by the natives because they believe that in
the past there was a snake who was becoming a spirit.
After becoming a spirit, it became a stone resembling
a snake, sticking into the sea with its body lying on
the land. During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese
soldiers made fortresses which were used for fortifying
against the attacking enemies and now some of the fortresses
have become tourist sites. Beside the Japanese fortress,
there is also a bat cave inhabited by thousands of bats.
The visitors can cross the sandy shore to get to the cave.
The lonely cave is often used for meditation by visitors.
However tourists should remember that the cave is 100m
in depth. To get there, the visitors can use public transportation
or hire a rental car. The journey takes approximately
30 minutes from the downtown of Jember.
