Krakatau or Krakatoa
The legendary Krakatau lies about 60 km from Carita Beach. Today only a small part of the origin volcano remains, but when Krakatau blew itself apart in 1883, in one of the world’s greatest and the most catastrophic eruptions, the effects were recorded far beyond Sunda strait and it achieved instant and lasting infamy.
For centuries Krakatau had been a familiar nautical landmark for much of the world’s maritime traffic which was funneled through the narrow Sunda Strait. The volcano had been dormant since 1680 and was widely regarded as extinct but from may through to early August in 1883 passing ship reported moderate activity, by 26 August Krakatau was raging and explosions become more and more violent. At 10 am on 27 August Krakatau erupted with the biggest bang ever recorded on earth. On the island Rodriguez more than 4600 km to the SW, police chief reported hearing booming of “ heavy guns from eastward’; in Alice Spring, 3500 km to the SE , Resident also reported hearing strange explosions from the NW.

The highest points in the park are the 620 meters Gunung Honje, the Gunung Payung Range peaks of up to 500 meters and Panaitan Island 's Gunung Raksa at 320 meters. In the central section of the Peninsula is a large region of wilderness known as the Talanca Plateau which reaches 140 meters above sea level, however most consist of low rolling terrain seldom more than 50 meters above sea level.
The park surrounded by unusually warm water, seldom varying from between 29C to 30C. The coastlines of the park are molded by the sea around them, battered by Indian Ocean; the long sandy beaches of the south coast are backed by dunes, lagoons and forest broken by rocky outcrops a wild and wind swept shore line.The west coast's reef-lined shore has cliffs, promontories and towering sea-stacks along sand and boulder beaches overhung by forest, creating the most spectacular coastline in the park.On the north coast, the sheltered tropical straits lap upon beaches of white sands and coral banks with islands, estuaries, swamps and forest lined shores.Along each coastline is variety of seascape which in all their diversity, offer a wide range of absorbing shoreline experiences.

Baduy Tribe
Baduy community trust known as the Sunda Wiwitan rooted in ancestor worship to the spirits (animism)which in the further development is also influenced by Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam. The core belief is shown by the existence of absolute Pikukuh or customary provisions adopted in the daily life of people Baduy. The most important contents of Pikukuh (compliance) Baduy is concept of “ no change”, or as few changes as possible “ length can not / should not be cut, the short can not / should not be connected”. The object of the trust is important for the community Baduy Arca Domas, whose location is kept secret and is considered the most sacred. Badut visit visit these location to conduct worship once a year in kalmia, which in 2003 coincided with the month of July only Puun whichis the biggest indigenous leader and only a few selected members of public who follow the cult group. In the complex there are Arca Domas stone mortar that holds rain water. If at the time of worship found in a stone mortar exists in a state full of clear water, then for the Baduy people it is sign that the rain of the year will be much decreased, and the harvest will prosper. Conversely, if a stone mortar is dry or murky water, it is a sign of crop failure.
