Pangandaran was first inhabited by several fisherman from Sunda tribe "the genuine people in West Java", the location was prefered because of calm tide making it easier for fisherman to fish. The word of "Pangandaran" is derived from two words, "Pangan" means food and "Daran" means immigrant. So it can be interpreted as a place to seek food for immigrants. When Raflesia flower was found in 1961, the beach became a conversation area and subsequently a Tourism Park in 1978 for its many recreation sports.
