Approximately 1,5-2 hours from the Jogja City Center, Mesra Beach has an impressive view and attractions. From my personal opinion this beach is one of the best Beach in Wonosari, you can treasure the beach through traditional wooden bridge that can bring you another experience and another angle of the beach.. The beach already equipped with good infrastructure, there has food stall where you can find some options of food with the reasonable price (noodle, fried rice, spicy chicken, etc), public toilet is comfy enough and clean, also they have safety guard.. But you need to carefully when swim cause the beach is rocky and wave is so big. #jogjabeach #exploreyogyakarta #staycation #beachlife #jogjahiddengem

Ng rumput beach is a beautiful and natural and green beach. This beach is new. More suitable for camping with its coral cliffs and many sea gewan and seaweed that can still be found. #beaches #beachlove #pantaingrumput #pantaipasirputih #pantaikarang

For those who don't know, the name Widodaren, which in Javanese means nymph, does seem suitable to be given to this quiet beach that has natural beauty. Because this beach is arguably one of the most beautiful beaches in Yogyakarta! Along this stretch of Widodaren Beach you will see a clean and beautiful beach, with natural white sand grains, combined with the cool air. This beach is also a beach of coral reefs around, giving the impression of a truly natural beauty. Gunungkidul turns out to have several collections of natural beaches, but they are very attractive to tourists. The potential that comes from the characteristics and conditions of the beach which shows a striking difference with the beach in general. You could say, Widodaren Beach is also a unique beach in Jogja! On this beach, you will also see for yourself the existence of a cliff with a height of up to 7 meters. Fortunately, you can climb this cliff through the available stairs. With this staircase, it is certainly easier for visitors to see the evening sky changing color into a holiday, with the orange sun enjoying to the west. In this coastal area there are also hills, the grassy and spacious Widodaren Hill. On the grass, tourists who stop at this hill can rest comfortably, while enjoying the sounds of nature which are dominated by strong waves hitting the rocks. taking time off from work, and on vacation to this beach, you can freely relax your nerves and thoughts. Resting on a quiet beach, while relaxing from the busyness of course feels comfortable. What you need to remember, because this beach is also still very natural and there are not many facilities available, you should come with enough food and drinks. And don't forget to collect plastic waste and leftover food in a bag before throwing it in the trash. It is feared that when you come only with money to stop at a stall that sells seafood, it turns out that even this beach has not provided the stall you want. #hiking#beautifulsunsets#beaches

1. Pantai Watu Walang Address - Gunung Kidul Rating - 4,5/5 Seru banget ke pantai ini, serasa pantai pribadi karena saat kesana tidak ada orang selain saya dan teman teman. Bisa untuk beach camp juga. Pantai ini terlihat tidak luas, namun jika berjalan menyusuri celah batu karang yg terlihat seperti pintu (lawang), maka akan menemukan pantai yg sangat luas dan juga indah. #beaches

Luweng Sampang waterfall is one of the enchanting natural attractions in Jogja. There are many beauties and interesting things that can be enjoyed and are rarely found in other similar natural tourist sites. One of its uniqueness is the view. The cliffs are shaped like neat hill scrapes. In addition, the waterfall has a different flow and shape compared to other waterfalls. Both the cliff and the shape of the waterfall have their own process of formation and origin. The origin of the naming Luweng Sampang can be seen from the shape of the waterfall. The flow of water forms a hole which in the local language is called luweng. While Sampang is the place where this waterfall is located. Regarding the shape of the cliff, according to several tourists who have visited this location, this cliff is shaped similar to the Antalope Canyon spot in Arizona, United States. Because they are both in the form of regular scraping from the top to the bottom. It could be that some other visitors have a different opinion. But still, this part of the cliff is unique. The erosion is formed due to water erosion. In addition, the rocks are also not like many rocks that are often found. The rocks in some areas of Gunung Kidul are indeed rocky and almost like rocks. This area is located on the southern coast which is directly adjacent to the Indian Ocean. So that the unique atmosphere of the ocean so affects the nature around the location. At the base of the waterfall there is a small pool that can be used as a water play vehicle. Uniquely, this pool has at least two colors. Namely brown and turquoise blue. These colors do not appear at the same time, but depending on the conditions. During the rainy season, the pool water looks brown with the swift discharge of the waterfall. This can be caused by the swift water that makes the soil at the bottom of the pond rise to the surface. But it's different in the dry season. #naturalwonders #waterfall #naturalwonders

Pantai yang terletak di Girikarto, Panggang, Gunung Kidul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta 55198, Indonesia ini memiliki karakter yang berbeda. Pantai Kesirat ini menyajikan karakter yang sangat unik dengan bentuk pantai dengan tebing dan juga karang. Jika mencari keindahan pasir putih, bahari Kesirat tidak memiliki hamparan pasir putih yang biasanya menjadi primadona utama di setiap pantai. Sementara panorama buih ombak yang biasanya bergelombang dan menghantam pasir pantai juga tidak bisa ditemukan di sini. Pantai ini menawarkan keindahan tebing-tebing batuan putih, view dari pantai ini sangat memanjakan mata karena bisa langsung melihat samudera yang sangat luas. Jalanan menuju lokasi ini juga sangat baik tetapi routenya naik turun daerah pegunungan yang lumayan curam jadi harus berhati-hati. #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

I think this is the best beach environment in Gunungkidul. There are some religion that live in this neighborhood, such as Islam, Hindu and Kejawen. Located in Kaniogoro Village, Saptosari Sub-district, this beach has praying places for the religion I mentioned. So, it seems like it is a religion recreation for the visitors who come to this place. One kind of the job for the local people is seaweed seeker. It is not about seaweed, but lobster, starfish and sea-urchin are also  sold to the visitors by the local. Thus, there are still many more great things to do in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta Indonesia. #wintergetaway #happynewyear #tripinspired #wintergetaway#tripinspired#happynewyear

#summervacay On Friday, I rented a car from Semarang and drove down to Yogyakarta's coastline. Many colleagues had told me that Indonesia's most beautiful beaches aren't in Bali, but in Yogyakarta. While I still think Bali's beaches, especially around the outer islands or Uluwatu Temple (Lover's Cliff), are stunning, the spot I found in Yogyakarta, Kesirat, truly amazed me. It's about an hour's drive from Gunung Kidul, all along the same beautiful coastline. What makes Kesirat so special is how unspoiled and less crowded it is. The scenery reminded me a bit of Bali's Uluwatu Temple, but with even more dramatic and intricate cliff formations. It felt much wilder and more untouched. All in all, despite driving for over ten hours round trip, the breathtaking coastal cliffs of Yogyakarta were absolutely worth it. Next month, when I'm back for my business trip, I definitely plan to explore Gunung Kidul and Wediombo Beach more deeply! #Yogyakarta #Kesirat #IndonesiaTravel #CoastalCliffs

puncak segoro jogja

Tempat ini terletak di kabupaten Gunung Kidul Provinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Indonesia. tempat ini belum banyak yang tahu karena aksesnya untuk ketempat ini yang masih agak menyulitkan. tapi tempat ini bagus sekali untuk healing atau sekedar hanya berlibur. untuk aksesnya sendiri lebih baik menggunakan motor daripada menggunakan mobil. karena jika menggunakan mobil akan menyulitkan sekali pengemudi karna Medan jalannya yang tidak bagus. tapi jika sudah sampai ditempatnya, sangat terbayarkan sekali saking indahnya tempat ini. untuk masuk kesini hanya membayar 2 ribu rupiah saja.

There are no beautiful beaches in Gunung Kidul. However, only Timang Beach has a Gondola. Timang Beach is located in Purwodadi Village, Tepus District, Gunung Kidul, Central Java. This beach is located in the west of Nglambor Beach, Jogan Beach, and Siung Beach or in the east parallel to Seruni Beach, Pok Tunggal Beach, Ngetun Beach. The distance from Wonosari City to Timang Beach is approximately 35 km. Timang Beach has a characteristic that is not much different from other Gunung Kidul Beaches. With views of white sand and many pandanus plants, this beach gives an interesting impression. In addition, you can also find a variety of marine life. The special feature that distinguishes this beach from other beaches is the existence of a coral island located 200 meters to the west, known as Watu Panjang or Batu Panjang or Pulau Timang. The access offered for visitors who want to go to Timang Island is by riding the Timang Beach Gondola, a traditional style cable car. This cable car is not as modern as the cable cars in the Capital City, because it is made with very simple materials, namely wood and rope as a connector. The gondola which is located on a cliff with a height of between 65 meters is actually not available for tourists because it is used by the surrounding community, most of whom are fishermen to reach Batu Karang to look for lobster. For those of you who want to test your guts by riding the Wooden Gondola, you must confirm with the manager at least a day in advance. They will check the security and first to make it safe for tourists. The gondola is moved manually, isn't it, so you'll be pulled by several people to get to the other side. The distance between the island and the beach is about 100 meters, if you want to try to ride it, you have to pay according to the applicable tariff. However, even if you pay there is no insurance, so the risk is borne entirely by you. It takes a strong mentality if you want to try to cross to this coral island on Timang Beach, because along the crossing you will slide alone on a hang gliding above the deep ocean with big waves. For those of you who have a hobby of adventure and photographers, visiting Timang Beach will get satisfaction and beauty that is comparable to the trip. The road access to this beach is not entirely smooth, but vehicles such as cars can pass through the road. There are two routes that can be reached to get to Timang Beach, namely by passing Jalan Raya Baron or through the village of Purwodadi Tepus. However, Jalan Raya Baron is indeed much more certain because it is more comfortable and safe to pass. #beautifulsunsets #beaches #naturalwonders #beautifulsunsets#naturalwonders#beaches
