JAKARTA - The Ancol Beach area in North Jakarta became one of the destinations for tourists to visit with their families on the second day of Eid al-Fitr 1445 Hijri, Thursday.

Taking a selfie while turning his back on the sunset, making videos to share on social media, to picnics and swimming on the edge of Ancol Beach are some of the activities that visitors can do in the tourist area.

One of the visitors to Ancol Beach Muhammad Faizal Rafli (22) said the Eid holiday was the best to spend with his family so he chose to travel there. The beach, said Rafli, is comfortable to visit around 15.00 when the sun is not hot until sunset.

"While waiting for the sunset, we can share the THR in a unique way such as the'money stake', 'THR blind box', and then on a picnic with food," said Rafli telling her about the activities she was doing with her family to fill the Eid holiday.

During the Eid holiday, said Rafli, you came to visit from Central Java so he didn't want to just spend time staying at home.

"So after gathering in Cilandak (South Jakarta), we immediately gave permission from parents to go together to Ancol because, right, it's a shame that when we get together we only spend it at home," said Rafli.

Like Rafli, ZalfaMINA (23) also chose Ancol Beach as a place to chat with her family at the tourist attractions rather than going out of town, for example to Anyer Beach (Banten) or Pelabuhan Ratu (West Java).

"To Ancol Beach it's closer, right. So, it's worth the time spent, you can go home (not staying)," said Zalfa.

Communication from the Ancol Dreamland Park Corporate, Ariyadi Eko Nugroho, said that the majority of tourist visits during the Eid holiday period this time were beach areas.

"Starting from Festival Beach, Pantai Indah, Lagoon Beach, to Beach Pool, visitors have been visiting since the morning," said Ariyadi.
