Giant coral rocks in Gigi Hiu/ Pegadung/ Gigi Hiu beachBatu Layar beach, Lampung, Indonesia

Gigi Hiu beach
Some people call it Gigi Hiu beach as it looks like some teeth of shark . Gigi Hiu is taken from Bahasa Indonesia words that mean tooth for Gigi and shark for Hiu. It is also claimed as Batu Layar beach as it looks like sailing boat. Batu Layar also taken from bahasa Indonesia that has meaning stone for Batu and Sailing for Layar. But local people call it Pegadung beach taken from the closest village where this beach located.
Again, Lampung province has a unique beach like Batu Lapis beach Check here. It is dominated by huge coral rocks which are located separately among others. But we can not do snorkeling here as some enormous waves. The wave actually "creates" this rock into this condition now like a sailing boat or shark"s teeth.

How to get there?
You just can go there by motorbike because the road is in very bad condition. It takes around three hours to reach this beach. 
Bandar Lampung - Ketapang - Bawang village - Kiluan village - Pegadung beach.
