Lintik – small coastal settlement on the western coast of Lampung Province
Lintik is a minor settlement in Indonesia's Lampung Province, situated in the southernmost part of the island of Sumatra. In terms of administrative division, it belongs to Krui Selatan district (kecamatan), which forms part of Pesisir Barat regency (kabupaten). Based on settlement coordinates (-5.2287468, 103.9230997), it is located near the west Sumatran coast in an area facing the Indian Ocean. Lampung Province as a whole encompasses the southern tip of Sumatra and is positioned opposite Java island across the Sunda Strait.
General overview
Independent settlement-level administrative or statistical sources for Lintik are not available in accessible materials, so the location can be contextualized primarily through broader administrative units and data available at the provincial level. Krui Selatan district – of which Lintik is a part – operates within the framework of Pesisir Barat regency. Pesisir Barat regency itself is a relatively young administrative unit, established in the western coastal strip of Lampung. The region is generally characterized by traditional agricultural and fishing livelihoods, with transportation infrastructure in most villages being less developed compared to other areas of the province. Lampung Province as a whole has approximately 9.27 million inhabitants according to 2025 data, with a population density of roughly 280 people/km², which is considered a moderate figure by Indonesian standards. The province's capital is Bandar Lampung, which functions as the most important economic and transportation hub for the entire region. Lintik, as a smaller inland or near-coastal settlement, is likely an agricultural community, though specific sources regarding the village are not available.
Real estate and investment
No settlement-level data source is available regarding Lintik's real estate market and local investment opportunities. The real estate environment of Pesisir Barat regency and generally the western coast of Lampung is characterized by gradually growing interest, particularly in areas near the coast where surfing and nature tourism have emerged. Nevertheless, this region currently lags far behind the development level of Bali or Lombok, and the real estate market has relatively low turnover, determined by local demand. In Indonesia, legal regulations governing real estate purchases contain strict restrictions for foreign nationals: foreign individuals generally cannot acquire property ownership in the form of Hak Milik (full ownership), and typically Hak Pakai (usufruct rights) or long-term rental structures are the available legal solutions. This regulatory framework applies across the entire country and is valid for Lintik as well. In Pesisir Barat regency, land prices and real estate market developments are primarily determined by local agricultural and fishing needs, as well as slowly expanding tourism development, rather than following the logic of major urban investor markets.
Safety and security
No concrete, verifiable crime or law enforcement data is available regarding Lintik's public safety. Considering Lampung Province as a whole, the province presents a complex security picture: urban areas, particularly Bandar Lampung, are characterized by large-city problems, while rural and coastal areas – such as Pesisir Barat regency – generally follow patterns typical of small community relations in terms of public security. In smaller villages, local community norms and informal social control typically play an important role in maintaining order. However, in the absence of precise data regarding Lintik, no specific claims can be made about the local security situation; for travelers, generally recommended precautions valid anywhere in rural Indonesian areas apply.
Tourist attractions
No source documenting named tourist attractions regarding Lintik as a tourism destination is available. Krui Selatan district and Pesisir Barat regency, however, have some recognition among Indonesian surfers and nature enthusiasts, as the region's coast attracts those interested in surfing thanks to Indian Ocean waves. Krui town itself, which is the main settlement of Pesisir Barat regency, is located nearby and functions as a service and supply center for surrounding villages – including settlements belonging to Krui Selatan district. Among the more well-known natural attractions of Lampung Province are the Sunda Strait region and the southern coast, though these are located in different directions and at different distances from Lintik. The route from the province's capital, Bandar Lampung, to the western coast is long, so the region's tourism accessibility remains limited.
Summary
Lintik is a small settlement relatively unknown to the general public, located in Krui Selatan District of Pesisir Barat Regency in Lampung Province, on the Sumatran coast facing the Indian Ocean. In the absence of detailed settlement-level data, the location can be characterized primarily through its broader administrative and geographical context: the region is rural in nature, oriented toward agriculture and fishing, and lags behind the development standards of Indonesia's major tourism centers in terms of infrastructure and tourism development. From a real estate and investment perspective, the broader region represents a slowly developing but currently small-scale market, subject to general foreign restrictions under Indonesian land ownership regulations.
