Parangtritis Beach

Parangtritis Beach is located 27 km south of Yogyakarta and easily accessible by public transport operation until at 17:00, as well as private vehicles. The 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, down to the horizon.

Parangtritis very closely with the legendary Queen of South. Many people believe that Java is Parangtritis magical kingdom Queen of South gate which controls the southern ocean. Hotel Queen of the South is a luxurious resort that is named according to this legend. Unfortunately the resort is now open but rarely used to have a view that could make us breathless.

Parangtritis also offer excitement for those who travel with family. Kite-flying with your baby is equally enjoyable. Strong sea breeze which is very helpful to make a kite flying high, even if you have never played a kite though.
