The Legend
In Binuangeun you can find the legendary story about "Sawah Kabayan" or Kabayan's Rice field. It is some reefs that looks like terrace rice field. Some seaweed grows inside of it just like the young rice that was planted by the farmers. in fact there was no one ever planted anything. 

The story says that long time ago there was a young nomad named Kabayan (the famous legend in West Java), One day Kabayan pass over Binuangeun and see a flat area which he thought it would be suitable for making some rice field. So he started to dig and making the terrace layers. After few hours of working, Kabayan get so tired and fell asleep. He didnt realize that the ground he dug was actually beach in low tide. When he awaken, all he saw was water drowning the rice field he was just made.
