Harlen Beach

Harlen Beach in the Depapre area is technically on New Guinea's mainland, although it is truly part of Papua. The area is located near Jayapura on the island's northern shore. Only accessible by boat, the beach is great for snorkeling over reefs, basking in crystal clear seas, or simply resting. The boat ride across the gorgeous waterways alone is worth the trip.

In Depapre, Harlen Beach is a welcome beach destination. Harlen Beach offers a variety of attractions, including dog-friendly areas, fire pits, and bathrooms. Fishing, hiking, and snorkeling are just a few of the activities available at this beach. It's also easy to get a bite to eat because there are food shops and restaurants in the vicinity.

Harlem Beach is perhaps Papua's loveliest beach, thanks in part to the residents who take careful care of it. As a result, they charge a 20,000 rupiah admission fee, making heaven a steal.
