Before I go to Carita Beach, I read many comment which already so negative. Crowded expensive annoying locals etc etc. But when I reach there scene was totally different.first of all there are many beaches there quite long.i went there with family on a last day of long weekend holiday. Try to find private area most local people rent for you. Yes public places can be dirty and crowded.but there are many places like in the photo you can park your car and like you have private beach.if you bargain enough good you can get good price for jetsky or other water sports. Don't complain about high prices without bargaining.and about food if you are ok with local meals there are plenty of choices there. Don't expect any western or something. Long story short, not so far jakarta good spot for spend 1 or 2 days trip. #wintergetaway #happynewyear #tripinspired #wintergetaway#tripinspired#happynewyear
