Beautiful Beaches in Yogyakarta

 

Beach Marathon in Yogyakarta

 

       Have you ever visited Yogyakarta? Yogyakarta is one of the most popular tourist cities in Indonesia. There are a lot of tourist attractions in Yogyakarta, for example Malioboro, Tamansari, Kaliurang, Prambanan Temple, and a lot of beautiful beaches. Now I will tell to you about the beautiful beaches in Yogyakarta...

       In August 2013, I went to 7 beaches at the same day in Yogyakarta. It's sounds great, right? Usually, the most often visited beach in Yogyakarta is Parangtritis Beach. But there are still a lot of more clean and beautiful beaches. There are Indrayanti Beach, Sundak Beach, Siung Beach, Baron Beach, Kukup Beach, Krakal Beach, and Sepanjang Beach. That beautiful beaches are located in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. The distance is about 70 km from the center of Yogyakarta city, or 2 hours if we go there by car. Although quite far from the center of the city, but I was very satisfied because I could enjoy the beauty of the 7 beaches as well. The distance between one beach to another beach is not far, it's only about 2 - 10 minutes from one beach to another beach. There's also a beach that located on the roadside, it's Sepanjang Beach. We can park our car in front of Sepanjang Beach and enjoy the beauty of the beach from our car directly.

      And if you go to these beautiful beaches in Yogyakarta, don't forget to buy some fish snacks at the beaches, because it tastes really delicious and also not expensive :D Must try!!

Here are some pictures that I took from my handphone :
