Parangtritis beach is the most famous coastal tourism in
Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is located in 27 KM south of the city and it is easy
to reach with public transportation. Parangtritis beach is a right place to go
if you want to enjot the perfect sunset.
Parangtritis according to the old legends in Majapahit
Kingdom era, tha there was someone who ran out from the kingdom named
Dipokusumo. He was meditating in a region and noticed water dripping (tumaritis) from the
cracks of coral reef (parang in Java). Then Dipokusumo named that region
Parangtritis which means water dripping from a stone.
Local people believe this beach is an embodiment of unity of
Mount Merapi, Keraton Jogja, and Parangtritis itself. So that people always connect
when there is a natural phenomenon that is happening in the case of three of
three sites.
Parangtritis has a unique view that you can not find in
other coastal tourism. It has big waves and there are mountains of sand around
the beach which called gumuk. In dry
season the wind usually blows faster and the waves can reach the height 2-3
meters. Because the waves are big so the visitors are prohibited to swim around
the beach, therefore the manager already provided the public bath for the
visitor who want to swim comfortably and safely.
Located about 27 KM south of Yogyakarta , you can choose two
tracks to get in there. The first one is Yogyakarta – Jl. Parangtritis – Kretek
– Parangtritis. The second is Yogyakarta – Imogiri – Parangtritis. The second
one will be farther but on the way you will see beautiful view.Along the way
you will see beautiful green fields, hills and winding river. And if you take
time to visit the tomb of King in
Imogiri, then you won’t regret it.

You wore blue jeans, 'mountain'
shirt, and a blangkon on your head. It was hard for me to choose which was more
beautiful, the beach or you.
