Parangtritis

Parangtritis located 27 km south of Yogyakarta and easily accessible by public transportation that operates until 17:00 pk and private vehicles. Afternoon before sunset is the best time to visit the most popular beach in Yogyakarta. But if you arrive more quickly, it could not hurt to go up to the cliffs behind the beach Gembirawati this. From there we could see the whole area Parangtritis, south sea, up to the limit of the horizon.

Not many people know that the east cliff is hidden a ruined temple. Unlike the other temples are located in mountainous areas, Temple Gembirawati just a few hundred meters from the lip Parangtritis. To reach this temple, we can pass the ramp near Hotel Queen of the South and into the path westward about 100 meters. The faint roar of the ferocious ocean waves can be heard south of the temple.

Parangtritis very closely with the legend of Ratu Kidul. Many people believe that Java is the gateway Parangtritis Queen of South magical kingdom that ruled the sea south. Hotel Queen of the South is a luxury resort which was named after this legend. Unfortunately the resort is now open but rarely used to have a view that could make us breathless.

When the sun is inclined to the west and sunny weather, it's time to have fun. Although visitors are prohibited from swimming, Parangtritis not lack the means to having fun. On the beach there are rentals of ATV (All-terrain Vechile), the tariff is about Rp. 50000-100000 per half hour. Enter his gear and then release the clutch, pulling gas. Brrrrooom, 4-wheel all-terrain motorcycle racing will take you across the sand dune beaches.

Well, ATVs may only be suitable for those who are adventurous. Another option is the gig. Along the smooth sand surface waves swept the two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage is no less enjoyable. Bendi will bring us to the east end of the reef Parangtritis place so beautiful that spot is often used as a pre-wedding photo shoot. Twilight dim golden sun and shadow in the water evoke a romantic atmosphere.

Parangtritis also offers excitement for those who traveled with family. Kite flying with your baby is equally enjoyable. Very strong sea breezes help to make a kite flying high, even if you've never played a kite though.
