==Administrative Districts==
Cilacap Regency comprises twenty-four [[Districts of Indonesia|districts]] (''kecamatan''), tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census<ref name="Biro Pusat Statistik 2011"/> and the 2020 Census,<ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2021"/> together with the official estimates as at mid 2024.<ref name="Badan Pusat Statistik 2025">Badan Pusat Statistik, Jakarta, 28 February 2025, ''Kabupaten Cilacap Dalam Angka 20254'' (Katalog-BPS 1102001.3301)</ref> The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of [[administrative village]]s in each district (comprising 269 rural ''desa'' and 15 urban ''kelurahan'' - the latter all in the 3 Cilacap town districts), and its postcode. The three districts comprising Cilacap town formerly formed an Autonomous city but have now been subsumed back into the regency.

==Cilacap Town==

[[Image:PLTU cilacap.JPG|thumb|right|Cilacap's power plant provides 600 megawatts of electricity]]
The town of Cilacap is also a [[sea port]] on the southern coast of the island of [[Java]]. The port is one of only a few that exist on the southern coast that can service shipping of reasonable tonnage. The nearest safe anchorage east is [[Pacitan]]. The city's harbor is protected by [[Nusa Kambangan|Nusakambangan]], an island best known as the site of several high-security correctional facilities although there are also hopes that the island can be developed as a tourist hub.<ref>Agus Maryono, '[http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/03/13/nusakambangan-a-future-tourist-hub.html Nusakambangan "a future tourist hub"'], ''The Jakarta Post'', 13 March 2012.</ref>  Nusakambangan sheltered Cilacap from the worst of the 2004 tsunami. Nevertheless, the disaster took 147 lives, devastated beaches, damaged 435 fishing boats and inflicted material losses amounting to about Rp 86 billion (around $9 million).

During [[World War II]] Cilacap was an important departure point for people fleeing the Japanese invasion, especially Dutch colonists. Many left the [[Dutch East Indies]] by boat or seaplane, the majority heading for [[Broome, Western Australia|Broome]] in [[Western Australia]].

The port is a hub for national or international trade. The town's [[Tunggul Wulung Airport]] provides scheduled airline services to [[Halim Perdanakusuma Airport|Jakarta]] and [[Ahmad Yani International Airport|Semarang]].

Cilacap is the site of many industrial plants, a geothermal power plant, a cement plant (Holcim Indonesia), and one of Pertamina (Indonesia's national petroleum company) processing units in Indonesia. The site has the largest production capacity, producing the most diverse kinds of products among other Pertamina units.

The town of Cilacap offers several tourist attractions highlighting [[Banyumasan people|Banyumasan]] culture. The town has a number of beaches, two of the most popular being [[Teluk Penyu Beach|Teluk Penyu]] (close to the center of town), but these are somewhat fouled from leakage of the shipping vessels docked adjacent to this and Widara Payung. Nearby the Teluk Penyu beach is also an old Dutch fortress called [[Benteng Pendem (Cilacap)|Benteng Pendem]]. This fortress was built in stages during 1861-1879 by the Dutch East Indies Army.

The three administrative districts (''kecamatan'') which together comprise the town of Cilacap are sub-divided into the following fifteen urban villages (''kelurahan''), listed below with their areas and their populations according to the mid-2023 official estimates. The first five listed comprise South Cilacap District,<ref name="ReferenceA"/> the next five comprise Central Cilacap District,<ref name="ReferenceB"/> and the last five comprise North Cilacap District.<ref name="ReferenceC"/>

==Segara Anakan Bay==
In early 2012 Segara Anakan Bay's area is only 600 hectares, reduced from 700 hectares in 2005 after dredging. Heavy sedimentation from the Citanduy River (which is located on the border of [[Ciamis Regency]] and Cilacap Regency) caused it. To overcome the sedimentation in Segara Anakan Bay, Ciamis Regency has agreed, if a new canal from Citanduy River pass their area and exit in Nusawiru near [[Pangandaran]] Beach.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pikiran-rakyat.com/node/179190 |title=Citanduy akan Disodet untuk Pulihkan Segara Anakan |date=March 3, 2012 |access-date=March 3, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730141010/http://www.pikiran-rakyat.com/node/179190 |archive-date=July 30, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
