DAY AT THE BEACH

South of Jogja, a string at unique beaches about the Indian Ocean, the nearest only 30 minutes from town and others reachable in 2 hour drive. The topography in the area varies from the glistening black sand with jagged limestone cliffs at Parangtritis, to the stunning white sand lined with lush green coconut palms in the Sundak area. Baron beach has a protected lagoon, safe for swimming, with protruding rocky hills on each side. Local fishermen sell their catch fresh from the sea at Depok while nearby restaurants and warungs (food stands) are ready to cook the catch at customers’ preferences.
