Jogja is a city heavily associated with culture and the arts, not necessarily famous for its beaches. On the popular traveler's circuit, tourists flock eastward to the likes of Bali and Lombok for a beach holiday. Howefer, a white sand beach paradise with turquoise water lies just outside the city.
Ngandong beach is the real deal for seekers of privat, exotic beaches. The beach is located in Sidoarjo Village, tepus subdistrick, gunung kidul, Yogyakarta, about 55 km southeast of the city, which takes around two and a half hours to get to by car. Gudung kidul is a rocky area, famous fo its excotic caves, jutting cliffs and beautiful beaches. Its most popular beach attractions inlude, krakal, Kukup dan Sundak.
However, if you find those beaches too crowded with tourists, especially on the weekends or holiday season, put in a little effort to take the road less traveled. Take a walk heading east on Sundak's shoreline. In the cove behind the barrier reef, you will find a hidden beach paradise called Ngandong.
Like with other beaches in Gunung Kidul, in Ngandong, beautiful soft white sand meets stunning tuquoise sea. Ngandong is easily recognizable, its coastline curved, yet not too wide, with some small fishing boats moored on the shoreline. Fishermen perch on top of cliffs and a small island called Watuwalang island itself stands as a breakwater.
Ngandong's calm waves make for a nice swimming spot. The quiet beach, sheltered from the throngs of tourists found in nearby tourist attraction beaches, make Ngandong a nice place to get away from it all. Lodging facilities are available around the beach as are seafood stalls. Camping and grilling some fish over the bonfire is another suitable option for relaxation on this beach.
