Indonesian rescuers Thursday concluded the search for bodies on Pangandaran resort beach where more than 300 people were killed by Monday's tsunami and shifted search to remote areas.
"The Pangandaran beach is already clean from bodies. We are moving to more remote areas," said Adi Sugiman, head of the national search and rescue team.
"We suspected that many bodies were buried under debris in other areas and unaccounted for," he told reporters on Pangandaran beach in Ciamis regency, some 250 km south of Jakarta.
He added the evacuation works will last until Sunday.
Relief workers dug a mass grave at the resort beach Wednesday to bury 25 unidentified bodies.
The earthquake-triggered tsunami swept through the southern coasts on Java Island, killing more than 530 people in West Java and Central Java provinces. More than 90,000 people have taken refuge since the disaster hit on Monday.
Cilacap regency in Central Java was the second-worst-hit by the tsunami, with 124 people confirmed dead so far.
