About this place
Cilacap is a regional center on the south coast of Central Java, facing the Indian Ocean. It serves as the administrative seat of Cilacap Regency, and the nearby offshore island of Nusa Kambangan falls within the same regency. Lying roughly halfway between Bandung to the west and Yogyakarta to the east, the town is a gateway to a quieter, less-touristed stretch of Java’s southern shoreline.
