Peeping the Javan Rhino
Due to its sluggish population growth and restricted habitat, Ujung Kulon is the sole location where the Javan Rhino is protected. The Javan Rhino is said to thrive in Ujung Kulon due to its healthy forest dynamics and sparse animal population, which does not significantly impede the Javan Rhino's growth.
White sand beaches and crystal-clear waters make them a preferred travel destination. Peucang Island's beach is one of them.

When they are in motion in the afternoon, wildlife attractions including Banteng, Peacock, Jungle Chicken, Wild Boar, and Long-tailed Macaques put on fascinating shows.
