Krui is the principal port on the virginal west coast of the Lampung Province in Indonesia. While the town itself is rather rough and unattractive, there are vast gorgeous white sand beaches stretching for miles and kilometers and miles to the north and south.

Do

A visit to Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park, or surfing at Karang Nyimbor, Tanjung Setia, is highly recommended.

Sleep

Accommodation is relatively undeveloped in this remote region of Lampung Province, and few people are fluent in English.
