JAKARTA - Tikus Emas Beach is an alternative tourist attraction for the public and tourists visiting the Bangka Belitung Islands Province, especially during the 1443 Hijri Eid al-Adha holiday.

Tikus Emas beach officer Wasis Pujo Pranoto in a statement on Sunday said that about 600 tourists had visited the beach based on the number of tickets sold.

"Tourists who visit come from various cities in Bangka Belitung Province," he told Antara.

The entrance ticket to Sungailiat Tikus Emas Beach is IDR 5,000 per person, IDR 5,000 for car parking, and IDR 2,000 for motorbikes.

He said Tikus Beach, which is located not far from the center of the capital city of Bangka, is one of the most popular beach attractions for tourists, even on certain holidays such as New Year's and other long holidays.

"The Eid al-Adha holiday is quite short or only one day, so not many tourists from outside the island of Bangka visit," he said.

The management of Tikus Emas Beach not only presents the natural beauty of the beach, but visitors can enjoy culinary delights in restaurants, ATV motorbikes, and beach tents to relax with family.

He said the activity of tourists visiting the beach was gradually recovering after the COVID-19 pandemic so the number of tourist visits had started to improve.
