Visiting a famous beach in Banten

For some people, Carita beach has been well-known as a famous beach in Banten. Most of them prefer going to other beach, such as Sawarna beach or Karang bolong beach. In my opinion, Carita is still worth to visit, although the beach wasn't as good as it used to be. There are many factors which make this beach so dirty. Besides air contamination, corporate activity which throws the trash away into the sea contributes to this contamination. Instead of keeping the sea clear from the trash, they contribute to make it dirtier.

Back to the story, I visited carita beach on March,2016. It'd been 1 year ago. It hadn't been planned at all, as usual. In the morning before our departure, I opened up my group chat and I saw that my friends had a plan to go somewhere. Apparently, my friend told about going to beach. It was reckless trip i guess because of not planning well. In the middle of the day, we hadn't got a rent-car. It could be canceled until my friend called his uncle to rent his car. We took of by a car at 4 pm, such a waste day!. It took 5 hours and a half to arrive on carite beach. 

Due to weekend, we hadn't easily got a homestay. we looked around for an hour to find a homestay. We checked in at 1 am and prepared to have a rest. Basically, we had to take a rest, but my friend asked us to make a fire. He put two chickens out of the box and roasted it. We had a late late dinner atthat time. It turned out that we couldn't sleep until the dawn was coming. During the dawn, I made myself feel awake. I wanted to see a sun rise there. It was unlucky for me, rain was coming until 6am. Besides i couldn't see a sunrise, I couldn't get to the beach too. 

During the rain, I talked to the pak wani a guy who had been a security for 4 months. We talked 'bout the beach and other stuffs. He said that the beach used to be crowded than now. He also told about his side-job. He had been a security in every night and he became an oil palm's laborer in the morning. I couldn't imagine how he could sleep well. He had a kid who helped him to watch in the night. Such a good boy !. 

As the rain stopped, I ran to the beach by barefoot and found a couple of rainbows. It was so stunning. It didn't seem clear, but we could see with your eyes. I was envy with people who got a good spot from his homestay. Their homestay was exactly behind the beach which made them see the sunrise or sunset. Suddenly, I felt hungry and I had "nasi uduk". The local 45 years old woman brought her basket full of rice and filled with "tempe orek and noodle". 

I enjoyed the beach with its big wave. The huge was repeatedly coming from the middle of the sea. It seemed like swalowing us with fun way hahaha. My friend bought a mini skiing to dive in it. I tried one, but I didn't feel good at it. People were happy at that day. Playing football in the beach, skiing in the sea and also snorkeling in the depth of sea was so behaved. Their routinity was so fun as if they would do it in their whole life.

Sun came up so I decided to get back to homestay. I took a bath then had some sleep. I hadn't slept for 24 hours by the way. After swimming in the morning, we prepared to get back because the traffic would be so bad if we didn't go earlier. Driving back to home was like something I didn't want to do. There wasn't anything excited while we were in the car so I slept. Soon, I got home and did an usual boring routinity. See you beach, I'll be back as soon as I can.
