pantai-klayar-pacitan
SURABAYA (Pos Kota)-Pacitan adalah salah satu wilayah kabupaten di provinsi Jawa Timur yang terletak di wilayah pesisir. Selain dikenal memiliki potensi sumber daya alam yang luar biasa besar, batuan, emas, minyak dan gas, Pacitan juga memiliki potensi pariwisata wisata luar biasa yang menunggu sentuhan tangan-tangan profesional.
Ada Goa Gong dengan kekhasan yang tak dimiliki goa-goa yang ada di dunia, karena mampu menimbulkan suara dengan berbagai macam nada. Begitu juga potensi wisata bahari dengan keindahan pantai-pantainya yang masih perawan, seperti Pantai Klayar salah satunya.
Pantai Klayar atau Klayaran memang masih belum banyak dikenal secara luas. Ini karena memang pantai ini belum dikelola menjadi tempat wisata. Pemerintah setempat masih membiarkan pantai ini alami meski menyimpan banyak potensi wisata dan bisa dikelola dengan baik. Seperti halnya Pantai Sawarna di Banten, Pantai Klayar terkenal melalui dunia maya atau jaringan internet dan dari mulut ke mulut.
Seiring dengan difungsikannya Jalur Lintas Selatan (JLS) Jawa Timur yang membentang menyusuri sepanjang pesisir selatan provinsi ini, mulai dari Banyuwangi hingga Pacitan, akan membuka akses masyarakat akan lebih mudah mengakses potensi wisata di Pacitan.
Pantai Klayar terletak di Pacitan, sebuah di sisi selatan Jawa Timur dan berbatasan dengan Wonogiri Jateng. Tepatnya berada di desa Kalak, kecamatan Doonorojo, Kabupaten Pacitan. Jaraknya sekitar 40 km ke arah barat dari kota Pacitan. Pantai ini masih segaris dengan Pantai Teleng Ria yang sudah dikelola sebagai tempat wisata.
Sebagai bagian dari pantai selatan, Pantai Klayar menyimpan banyak keindahan yang unik dan meyimpan misteri. Keindahan yang ada diantaranya pasir putih, karang raksasa mirip Sphinx di Mesir, Seruling Laut, Air Mancur alami, Air terjun, dan batu karang indah.
Uniknya, ternyata lebih banyak turis asing yang mengenal Pantai Klayar dibanding wisatawan domestik. Maklum, mengingat masih minimnya pemberitaan di media offline. Para wisatawan mancanegara itu tahu dari internet. Meski hanya memiliki garis pantai yang tidak panjang, Pantai Klayar begitu mempesona. Garis pantinya kira-kira seperti Pantai Ancol di Jakarta.
Sebagai pantai yang belum ramai dikunjungi apalagi dikelola resmi, akses menuju pantai ini boleh dibilang misterius seperti mencari harta karun. Dari Jogjakarta bisa ditempuh selama 3 jam perjalanan melalui jalan tembus. Dari Pacitan kota, bisa ditempuh dengan sepeda motor selama 3 jam perjalanan.
Pantai Klayar pada hari-hari biasa tidak banyak dikunjungi pelancong. Hanya anda temukan masyarakat lokal nelayan yang sedang melaut. Di akhir pekan dan saat musim liburan pantai ini rama pengunjung. Mereka datang tak hanya ingin menikmati eksotisnya Pantai Klayar, tetapi banyak juga pengunjung yang ingin membuktikan misteri dan keunikan pantai ini.
Suasana sepi pengunjung membuat anda bisa mendengar hembusan angin, misterius bukan? Di kanan kirinya banyak dipagari nyiur hijau. Di pantainya yang berpasir putih, anda juga bisa menemukan sisa-sisa binatang laut yang sudah mati.
Ada dua karang tinggi setinggi pohon kelapa dan menjadi ikon favorit wisatawan. Letaknya ada di sisi timur. Di balik karang ini, masih banyak lagi terdapat karang yang tak lelah diterjang ombak Laut Selatan. Dan diantara karang-karang itu, terdapat karang raksasa yang mirip Tanah Lot di Pulau Bali.
Makanya tidak heran jika ada yang menyebut Pantai Klayar sebagai Tanah Lot di Pacitan, Jawa Timur. Ada juga sungai-sungai kecil yang bermuara di Pantai Klayar. Sungai dangkal bisa dilewati dengan jalan kaki.
Kedalamannya ada yang sepaha orang dewasa di beberapa titik.Sedangkan di sisi baratnya, ada karang yang lebih tinggi dan lebih besar, tingginya mencpaai 50 meter. Tebing karang ini merupakan gugusan karang. Tebing eksotis ini mirip seperti tempat bersandarnya kapal Nabi Nuh. Dan di pantainya sendiri terdapat hamparan karang-karang kecil. Keindahan lanskap pantai Klayar sangat pas dinikmati dari tebing ini. Dan di tebing sisi kanan ini sudah dibuat gardu pandangnya.
Dan di deretan karang-karang di belakangnya, banyak karang yang berlubang sehingga memungkin air laut dan angin memasuki karang itu. Saat ombak datang,dari celah-celah kecil karang ini air menyembur ke atas bak air mancur alami yang muncrat hingga ketinggian 10 meter.
Airmancur ini akibat tekanan ombak laut yang melewati celah kecil. Sesuai dengan teori Bernoulli di pelajaran Fisika. Ketika muncrat, tak jarang airmancur ini juga mengeluarkan suara aneh mirip seruling. Makanya banyak yang menamai seruling laut. Di sebelahnya lagi terletak air terjun setinggi dua meter.
Kalau anda pecinta fotografi cobalah naik ke pinggang karang Sphinx. Dari sudut dan momen yang tepat, anda bisa berfoto di Sphinx dengan latar belakang air mancur raksasa dan air terjun laut. Dan masih di deretan karang sphinx ini, anda bisa menemukan Karang Bolong. Karang yang bolong (berlubang) akibat abrasi karena tiupan angin laut. Sungguh pantai eksotis yang masih perawan dengan berbagai keunikan yang alami.

Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) memiliki obyek wisata pantai yang tak kalah eksotisnya dengan Bali. Salah satu objek wisata pantai di NTB yang namanya sudah mulai dikenal adalah Pantai Senggigi. Sebenarnya bukan cuma Pantai Senggigi yang dapat dijadikan obyek wisata di NTB. Jika pelancong punya cukup banyak waktu, objek wisata pantai di Kabupaten Sumbawa Barat layak untuk dikunjungi.

Di Kabupaten Sumbawa Barat ini terdapat beberapa obyek wisata pantai. Mulai dari Pantai Maluk, Pantai Sekongkang, Pantai Tropical, hingga ke Pantai Jelengah. Dari obyek wisata pantai yang ada di Kabupaten Sumbawa Barat ini, Pantai Maluk merupakan obyek yang paling banyak menarik minat wisatawan. 

Untuk mengunjungi Pantai Maluk ini tidak terlalu sulit. Sarana transportasi yang dibutuhkan oleh wisatawan tersedia setiap saat. Dari Ibu Kota NTB, Mataram, dibutuhkan waktu sekitar enam jam untuk sampai ke Pantai Maluk. Sekitar dua jam perjalanan menggunakan feri dari Pelabuhan Kayangan Lombok. Selebihnya perjalanan ditempuh melalui jalur darat. 


Pantai Maluk terdapat di Desa Maluk, Kecamatan Maluk, Kabupaten Sumbawa Barat. Dari Pantai Maluk ini wisatawan bisa melihat pesona keindahan Teluk Maluk. Bukan hanya itu. Pantai Maluk kerap dijadikan oleh wisatawan sebagai arena berselancar. Tak heran apabila peselancar kelas dunia senantiasa mengagendakan kegiatan di Pantai Maluk. 

Ombak di Pantai Maluk ini telah masuk dalam daftar ombak terbaik bagi peselancar dunia, jelas Eldiman, salah seorang pengelola papan selancar di Pantai Maluk yang ditemui SH belum lama ini. Oleh para peselancar, ombak di Pantai Maluk diberi julukan Super Suck. Julukan ini diberikan karena ombak yang menuju daratan terpecah oleh sebuah tanjung. 

Oleh penduduk setempat, tanjung tersebut dinamai Tanjung Ahmad. Pecahan ombak ini menggulung hingga ketinggian di atas dua meter. Ombak tersebut terus bergulung-gulung hingga seolah menyedot para peselancar yang mencoba menaklukkannya. Menurut Eldiman, hanya peselancar yang piawai bermain di atas papan selancar saja yang mampu menaklukkan ombak Super Suck Pantai Maluk. 


Jika wisatawan tidak membawa papan selancar, tak perlu kuatir. Eldiman menyebutkan pihaknya siap menyewakan papan selancar. Menyangkut tarif sewa, tidak ada tarif tertentu. Kadang kami malah meminjamkannya dengan gratis, timpal Eldiman. Dengan ombak yang begitu menantang, tak heran jika Pantai Maluk menjadi ajang pamer kemahiran para peselancar yang datang dari berbagai penjuru dunia. Biasanya mereka datang pada saat-saat hari libur. Suasana pantai yang masih tergolong sepi, membuat wisatawan menjadi lebih enjoy. 

Memang dibandingkan dengan obyek wisata pantai di Bali, Pantai Maluk belum banyak dikunjungi oleh wisatawan. Pantai Maluk masih kalah populer dibandingkan dengan Pantai Kuta maupun Pantai Sanur. Padahal dari segi pesona eksotisnya, Pantai Maluk tak kalah. Pasirnya yang putih dan lembut serta matahari yang memancarkan sinar terik, bisa membuat wisatawan betah berjemur. Bagi wisatawan yang tidak ingin berjemur atau berselancar, dapat menghabiskan waktu dengan bermain kano. Setiap kano dapat disewa dengan tarif sebesar Rp 5.000 per jam. 


Masakan Laut


Puas berjemur, berselancar maupun bermain kano, wisatawan dapat mengisi perut dengan berbagai masakan laut yang membangkitkan selera. Menikmati sea food sembari menyaksikan gulungan ombak berkejar-kejaran memang sangat nikmat.
