Located not far from downtown, which is only 2 kilometers from Labuan Bajo, the capital of West Manggarai. Entrance to this beach is also relatively inexpensive, Rp 1,000 per person.
To reach this beach, for you from outside NTT, there are a number of alternatives, namely through a plane to Kupang or Sikka regency of Ende, then traveled overland to Labuan Bajo. Alternatively, from Denpasar, Bali, directly to Labuan Bajo.
Pede beach has a unique, besides the beautiful panorama with white sand, we can also enjoy the beauty of the scenery at sunset. Coastal waters is also very calm and clear.

According to community leaders in the Coast region Pede, Joseph Ondeng (78), this beach with the passage of time has undergone many changes, including types of trees. "Back on the Beach Pede many coconut trees grow lush and many bee hives so I often look for honey in it. However, coconut trees are now rare, that there is only a tamarind tree, "said Joseph.

Sultanate of Bima region at that time to the island of Flores covers an area Manggarai, whose center in Reo, which is now administratively into the scope of Manggarai district. "As evidence Bonarate first person ever to inhabit Pede Beach, in the vicinity until now there are still old cemetery belongs to someone Bonerate," said Joseph.
Hygiene problems
However, of concern, a very charming Pede Beach many tainted debris strewn on the beach. Garbage strewn along the coast, such as plastic, bottles, and rags.
In a neighborhood, the beach is also no lighting so that if the atmosphere is very dark night falls. No wonder the site is often used for the activity of a number of the nasty, even drunk-mabukkan which sometimes led to trouble.
Village Chief Aladdin Nasar recognize Gorontalo, Pede beach cleanliness is very alarming. "Maybe because this beach is an asset NTT Provincial Government, Regency West Manggarai in managing not be optimal. If the asset is handed over to the government district, may be better managed. However, there are also other problems in its management, we are from the village government was never involved so we never interfere in it, including beach cleaning business, "said Aladdin.
Head of culture and Tourism West Manggarai Paul acknowledged Tuesday, the issue of cleanliness becomes a serious problem in the management of Pede Beach. Allocation of funds each year for maintenance is very minimal. There is a budget of Rp 600,000 per month, which honors a cleaners, but the officer was overwhelmed taking care of 3 hectares beach alone.
"We periodically conduct of official communal work, but have not been able to overcome so much dirt. Coastal Development Pede do require third-party support because it is very difficult to rely on a limited budget, "said Paul.
According to him, as long as this is not no investors who looked at Pede beach. In October 2011, for example, there are investors from Italy expressed his intention to build a luxury resort on the beach Pede.
However, the proposal was immediately rejected Manggarai Regency West. Of particular concern, a resident of Labuan Bajo will be difficult to get an inexpensive family recreation. "If later built the hotel, of access for the more difficult and the price is definitely expensive," says Paul.
It can not be denied, Pede Beach area of 3 acres is only a cheap family attractions that still survive in Labuan Bajo of the expansion of large investors investment.
Currently investors race to establish a five-star resort or hotel on the coast of Labuan Bajo. For example, not far from the beach Pede currently there is almost no longer an inch of land on the beach that does not belong to investors. At that location had stood two four-star hotel, not to mention the magnificent resorts that are currently in the completion of construction.
Based on data from the Office of Regional Investment District of West Manggarai, to date there are investors from 7 countries who invest in Manggarai West, from Japan, England, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Korea, and Italy.
They include building a resort in the region, such as PT Reefseekers Kathernest Lestari (UK) on Angel Island and PT Komodo Dragon (Italy) on the island of Great Sebayur. There is also a foreign investor from the Netherlands, namely PT Marij Divine Diving, which opened Tirta tourist recreational services on the island of Komodo and Rinca.
Especially with the inclusion of the Komodo National Park in the seven natural wonders of the world is not impossible that foreign investment will flow into the greater region. Hopefully Pede Beach as a popular family attractions that are not displaced.
