- Bama Beach: A long, sandy stretch backed by savanna where wild cattle and deer roam down to the waterline. The contrast between turquoise shallows and dry grassland makes this one of Indonesia's most unusual coastal scenes.
- Bekol Savanna: Rolling grassland dotted with acacia trees and grazing herds of banteng (wild cattle) and sambar deer. Early morning light transforms the landscape into something almost African, though you are firmly in East Java.
- Labuhan Merak Beach: A quieter northern beach where mangroves meet sand and birdlife concentrates in the shallows. Less visited than Bama, it rewards patient observation with herons, eagles, and occasional dolphins offshore.

- Gajah Mina Waterhole: A natural freshwater pool where wildlife congregates, especially in dry season. Perch here at dawn and you may see banteng, sambar, and wild boar arriving to drink.
- Savanna Loop Trail: A moderate walking route through open grassland with panoramic views and frequent wildlife sightings. The terrain is gentle but exposed, so timing your walk for early morning avoids midday heat.
- Mangrove Forest (Hutan Bakau): Dense, brackish woodland along the northern coast where proboscis monkeys and saltwater crocodiles inhabit the tangle. A boardwalk or guided walk keeps you safe while revealing an ecosystem most visitors skip.
