The beach is located about 27 km from the city of Yogyakarta, can be achieved through Kretek village or a longer route, but the scenery more beautiful is through Imogiri and Siluk Village.
Beaches including the Bantul area is a sloping beach, with rocky hills, coast and white sandy limestone hills and the scenery on the north coast.

In the dry season, the wind was blowing hard as not to be outdone by the pounding waves of an average height of 2-3 meters. Often there is a visitor was heard south coast waves swept away. Surprisingly, the bodies of visitors that fateful, disappeared like a swallowed by the earth. Average SAR team could only find her body 2-3 days later after conducting searches. Typically, the location of the discovery of the bodies are not in an area where visitors are swallowed waves.

If you tired when shopping in the mall, you can relax while enjoy at the KLCC park. The park located in front of Suria KLCC Shopping Mall. The park features of Lake Symphony a manmade lake with a little fountain 

Isn’t it beautiful? Do you know that the KLCC Park’s main fountain can shoot water up to 42m? Sound magnificent.
