Tollway extended

JAKARTA (JP): The recent opening of the East Serang tollgate, part of the 77.5-kilometer Tangerang-Merak tollroad, enables weekend revelers from Jakarta to reach beautiful Carita beach, West Java, in just under two hours -- 20 minutes less than before.

To reach Carita, Jakarta weekenders now can drive about half the distance on the four lane tollroad.

The toll from Tomang, West Jakarta, to East Serang is set at Rp 9,500 (US$4.3).

From Anyer to Labuan is a long stretch of beautiful beach awaiting holiday makers, who will have no difficulty finding accommodation and refreshments. The gem of this beach is indisputably Carita Bay, where tourists can have a great time swimming, surfing, diving, snorkeling or just walking on the white sand.

Along one kilometer of this beach, Lippoland will build a five-star Carita Bay resort. Three hundred and fifty condominiums will be available at Carita Bay Resort in addition to luxury single family villas and time share condominiums. (hhr)
