Sundak Beach not only has beautiful scenery, but also beach Sundak save a lot of stories. Sundak Beach, Sundak name was experiencing evolutionary evidences can be traced geologically.

The beach there is a mosque and Sundak empty space that is now used as a parking lot. While in the east there is a cave formed by a rock about 12 meters altitude. Entering the cave, will be found natural wells where people get fresh water.

Areas described above prior to 1930 are still submerged ocean. That said, the water to a region that is now a mosque, which form the rock caves were still submerged in water. As the geological processes on the south coast, sea water recede and more jutting into the sea. The coral reef and the area around the mosque became new land which is then exploited coastal residents for economic activity to date.

There is a unique natural phenomenon due to the activity that eventually became the starting point of naming this beach. During the wet season, a lot of water flowing from land to sea. As a result, the plains on the east coast of splitting to form a formation like a river. Water that flows like splitting the sand. When the drought came, crevice disappeared and since the sea water came in with sand. This natural phenomenon is what causes the name to be Wedibedah beach (sand is split).

The name change took place several decades later. Around the year 1976, there is an interesting event. One afternoon, a dog was running around the beach area and enter the cave corals met with a sea urchin. Because the hungry, the dog was intended to eat the sea urchin, but the hedgehog escape. There was a fight that eventually won the dog managed to eat half of the body with sea urchin and out of the cave with pride. The act known to the dog owner, named Arjasangku, which saw half of the sea urchin's body in a dog's mouth. Checking into the cave, apparently the owner found the body of sea urchin and a half remaining. Well, since then, the name changed to Sundak Wedibedah, abbreviation of asu (dog) and porcupine.

Not unexpectedly, the fight was a blessing for locals. After decades of water shortages, residents eventually discovered the springs. Initially, the wonder dog owner that his dog out of the cave with dripping wet. Hypothesis, in the cave there is water and the dog had drowned while pursuing porcupines. After trying out some investigations, the prediction turned out correct. Be present, the water in a cave used for purposes of the population live. From inside the cave, now installed pipes to connect with residents. The findings of this spring treat disappointment because of the well established residents were inundated by sea water.

Well, if the condition in 1930 just as said above, can be estimated condition of hundreds of years earlier. Certainly very many organisms that take advantage of the lower coral caves now and what is now the mainland. Therefore, many archaeologists believe that as a consequence of geological processes that exist, many organisms that left and piled into a fossil. Matter what fossils are found, it has yet much research reveals.

Besides offering a silent witness to history, Sundak also offers a pleasant evening. You can enjoy the night wind while ordering raw fish to be grilled with a friend. By paying a few thousand, you can buy wood for fuel. If lazy, so that messages are cooked ready to eat. What is clear, do not be confused to find a place to stay. Visitors can sleep anywhere, set up a tent, or just lying on the bench stall if unused nights. Darkness does not need to fuss, is not boring if life continues bright?

If you want to, interact with residents can be a revelation. You can find out how people live, their culture, and of course new people who might be able to change your outlook on life. Mbah Tugiman meet the usual vigil in the parking lot or Mbah Arjasangku could be an option. They are one of the elders at the beach Sundak.
