Discovering Peace in Jakarta: A Reflective Walk Around PIK2

Jakarta, often dubbed a world-famous tourist desert, surprisingly offers a few hidden gems that make it worth the visit. After exploring all the main attractions, I can confidently say that PIK 2 is the standout spot for a fantastic day out in Jakarta .

Land’s End PIK 2 (P2-P9)
– Highlights: Pristine white sand beach, charming blue and white buildings, lush palm groves, and cozy cafes
PIK 2 is a newly developed area brimming with modern amenities. There’s nothing quite like sipping a refreshing drink by the sea and basking in the gentle breeze. The best part? It’s surprisingly cool and comfortable, even on a sunny day! [doge]

Aloha Pasir Putih (P10-P18)
– Highlights: Vibrant beach market (offering a variety of food, drinks, and street performances)
Just a short 20-minute walk north along the coastline from Land’s End, Aloha Pasir Putih is a must-visit. The lively atmosphere and diverse offerings make it a perfect spot to continue your day of relaxation and exploration.

[Time Suggestion]: For the ultimate experience, plan your visit for the afternoon!
After 3:30 PM, head to the white sand beach and find a trendy, Instagram-worthy cafe. Grab a seat, order a drink, and enjoy the soothing sea breeze while chatting with friends .
Around 4:30 PM, take a leisurely stroll along the coastline near Land’s End.

The seaside bathed in the warm glow of the sunset is an idyllic setting for a peaceful walk .
By 5:30 PM, start making your way to Aloha. If you arrive after 6 PM, you can indulge in a delicious dinner . On a clear day, you’ll also be treated to a breathtaking sky and twilight, as seen in P13.

Friendly reminders:
Weekends can get pretty crowded, so be prepared for a bustling scene [Laughing and Crying R].
PIK 2 is a bit of a distance from the city center, but it’s conveniently located near Soekarno-Hatta Airport (just a 20+ minute taxi ride away). This makes it an ideal stop for those transiting through Jakarta, just be sure to manage your time wisely .
