Pintu Kota Beach
The
name of the beach is quite interesting, Pintu Kota in English means City Gate.
Just like a gate, the beach is the entrance to the city of Ambon with its own
uniqueness which is certainly a tourist attraction. Among others is the
presence of a hole with a very large diameter that breaks through the reef
barrier and penetrates into the two sides. So, when we stand on the beach, we
can see the sea directly through the hole. Pintu Kota is shaped like a bay, and
a kind of rocky and stony beach. In fact, the sandy part of the shore is only a
little.
Pintu
Kota beach is located in Latuhalat village, Ambon, Maluku province. From the
parking lot to the location of the beach we have to walk down through steep,
rocky and narrow stairs. You have to be careful because they are also pretty
slippery. When you arrive at the beach, there will be many palm trees and a
strip of green grass around the coast to welcome you. There are also benches
provided, so you can see the stretch of the coast and the sea while sitting in
the distance. Looking out trough the large coral holes perforated like a gate
is actually the main focus of this unique beach. The reddish-brown color of the
cliffs combined with a little green on the top and is a wonderful view
especially when the gentle waves are hitting. Small wonder that
Pintu Kota beach is often used as a photo shooting location for Pre
wedding pictures and major tourist magazines.
This beach can be reached in less than 30 minutes from Ambon City Center by
car. Public transport to this area is an armada of red vans called the red city
transport. If you want to take it, make sure there is Air Louw written on the
roof of the car because most of public transports in Ambon are red. But if you
are in doubt, you’d better hire a car and a driver or ride a motorcycles taxi.
