Alas Purwo National Park is situated on Blambangan Peninsula in the Banyuwangi Regency, at the southeastern tip of East Java province. The park is famous for its wild Banteng and surfing location at Grajagan Bay.
The park's name means first forest or ancient forest,[2] following a Javanese legend that says the earth first emerged from the ocean here.
