Nice and clean sandy beaches are lined with a pedestrian promenade and grassy areas.
The beaches are located in sheltered coves, so the sea water is always very calm. The entrance to the sea is very gradual and suitable even for the smallest children.

How to get there
Ancol Park is located about 10 km north of the central Monas Monument.
Grab / Gojek / Taxi
The most convenient way to get to Ancol is via the Grab or Gojek mobile apps. The price from the centre is around 35 000 idr.
Public transport
The closest bus routes to the park are the 5 and 5D, which run along the eastern edge of the centre. At the Pasar Baru bus stop you can change to line 10H towards the northern edge of the centre, or at the Senen Central bus stop to lines 2, 2A and 7F to the centre.
The fare for 1 bus ride is 3 500 idr.
From the terminus of lines 5 and 5D, free shuttle buses run across the park about once every 20 minutes.
From Old Jakarta, you can also use the TP train line in the direction of "Tanjung Priok" which runs once every 30 minutes. The "Ancol" station is about 500 meters from the park entrance. Unpleasant is crossing the crossing in front of the station, where there is no crossing. However, there is a footpath leading into the park after that.
