Get to know Sedati through its fish ponds, grilled fish, and coastal landscapes. In Tambak Cemandi, visitors can learn about fish farming and observe its processes on site. At the fishing ponds there, they can have their catch grilled at stalls run by local residents and eat by the pond. Wisata Bahari Curah Asmoro in the village of Tambak Cemandi also offers a coastal experience: visitors can enjoy the landscape and observe jellyfish. The ponds, food, and coast each offer a different focus for a visit.
Fish Farming and Grilled Fish
At the fishing ponds, fishing and eating go hand in hand: visitors can have their catch grilled by local residents at stalls and eat right by the pond. Visitors can also observe fish-farming activities in Tambak Cemandi. This draws attention to another aspect of fish farming: rather than focusing on the catch, it is about raising fish and the processes involved. Those interested in the fishing industry can therefore experience two different perspectives—the fishing pond and observing fish farming.
Around Cafe Kalitekung, local residents run numerous small food businesses offering grilled fish. This provides another option, with a different focus, alongside eating by the pond. At the fishing pond, a meal can be part of the fishing experience; the small businesses around the cafe serve grilled fish as a snack. This distinction helps put the local food options in context without combining them into a single type of visit.
Coastal Landscapes and Marine Observation
Another attraction in Tambak Cemandi is Wisata Bahari Curah Asmoro. Visitors can enjoy the coastal landscape and observe jellyfish there. The Sidoarjo administration reported on this destination in 2026. Jellyfish sightings are sensitive to the season and environment; if you would like to include them in your plans, check before visiting whether the opportunity is available. The attractions therefore have clearly distinct focuses: the ponds are about fish farming, catching fish, and preparing it, while Curah Asmoro is about coastal landscapes and marine life.
The origins of another visitor project are also part of the area's story: a village tour project featuring a river trip in Tambak Cemandi began in 2018. This gives you a broad range of themes to choose from, from fish farming and meals by the pond to coastal observation and the project idea launched earlier.
More Attractions in the Wider Sidoarjo Destination
The wider Sidoarjo destination also offers cultural and landscape attractions that appeal to other interests. Candi Pari is a cultural heritage site from the classical period in the village of Candipari, Kecamatan Porong. Hindu worshippers continue to use the site as a place of prayer. Candi Dermo is a Hindu-Buddhist cultural heritage site from the classical period in Kabupaten Sidoarjo. It includes a temple structure, carved reliefs, and stone blocks. The two sites offer different points of interest: religious use at Candi Pari and the preserved architectural elements at Candi Dermo.
Another landscape attraction in the wider Sidoarjo area is Pulau Lusi, formerly called Pulau Sarinah. The river island is located in Kecamatan Jabon, Kabupaten Sidoarjo, and was formed from mud sediment discharged into the Porong River. The regional attractions therefore range from cultural heritage used for religious purposes and temple reliefs to a river island formed by sediment. Together with Sedati's local attractions, they offer options that put fish farming, food, coastal landscapes, cultural heritage, or landscape history in the foreground, depending on your interests.
