Unlike other shopping malls in Jakarta, By The Sea is only one floor, with open-air corridors and plenty of sunlight from the glass roof. It is a fashion district with the concept of a “Tropical shopping paradise by local brands.” Hence, the clothing shops here are from local brands, interspersed with food and beverage shops.

The Weather In PIK Jakarta

Golf and Ebony islands are connected to mainland PIK Jakarta through a series of bridges. Before you realize it, you are already on the next island. However, as soon as you get off your car or bus, you will feel it. Most of the time, the sun is scorching. On the rare occasion of rain, it will be a rainstorm. Thanks to the fully air-conditioned malls, this weather will not affect you much if you are indoors. But, if you want to enjoy the outdoors, early morning and late afternoon until evening is more enjoyable.
