Siung Beach Yogyakarta

Siung beach is one beach in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta. Although including the most recent known, this beach has become a mainstay of the region. Not long ago, I visited the beach and realize its tourism potential.

Located in District Tepus cloves, about 70 km from Yogyakarta. Unlike the beaches who had already been known as Parangtritis, Siung including short. This beach is located in the basin length is only about 300-400 m. But herein lies precisely in its privileges.


This short beach is surrounded by large rocks colored black, which are mostly overgrown with vegetation and moss green. Alloy crystal clear blue sea and greenery add to the beauty of coral panorama of this place.


Siung is not the most ideal beach for swimming because of facing directly into the Indian Ocean. Topography is craggy and rocky beaches and big waves too difficult for you to swim. No wonder the local government put up the sign ban swimming. But, of course you can still play around the water on the beach.


Another specialty of this beach is still the number of trees on the beach. You can just rent a mat from a population of around and take shelter under the trees.


Besides suitable as a place to escape from the bustle of everyday life, Siung very suitable for those who have a hobby of photography. The beach is a short and limited coral reef is actually a very interesting object image.


If you do not mind sweat, you can follow the path on the left side of the beach to reach the top of the cliff. About 10-15 minutes it takes to get to the top. From there, you will see the whole beach and large rocks on the left and right. The beach also looks Wediombo who is on the east Siung.


Besides being a tourist attraction and an interesting photo, the area around Siung also often used as a rock climbing gym. Students in Yogya nature lovers - and even outside the city - often train here, take advantage of the cliffs with the size of the varied and diverse paths. Because the new known in recent years, Siung not much visited by tourists. Seawater is crystal clear, coral-reefs were still free from the hands of ignorant people.

Local residents have built stalls, toilets and mosque at this beach. In contrast to most tourist attractions, the prices on the coast is still quite normal so this beach can be a cheaper option streets for you.
When the stomach starts twisting, you can visit one of the stalls that lined the beach. Usually they provide instant noodles, rice and side dishes, and coconut ice. You also can ask the shop keeper to cook freshly caught fish fishermen.

Unfortunately, in this area many fishermen catch baby sharks when the animal is one of the protected species.
