In the west of Tanjung Lesung, there is an adjacent serene beach called Batu Hideung. Batu Hideung is famous for the large black granite rocks that littered the sandy beaches, naturally scraped from erosion by waves, adding an exotic touch of the beach that overlooks the endlessly to Indian Ocean. The ocean has a beautiful colour, sparkling with the rays of sunlight. Although it is not recommended for swimming, the beach is hidden enough to relax and watch the beautiful view of the beach.

There is also a lush of greenery around the beach filled with rows of mangrove trees on the way to the beach, and locals usually use the beach for fishing.

Many people try to catch the sunset at Baru Hideung, where the darkness of the black granite contrasts towards the orange setting sky and the last of the sparkles in the ocean, giving a view you will never forget during your visit.
