My Journey To South Coast : Pantai Kukup Gunungkidul

You've heard the town of Gunungkidul, the city may give a negative image (high rates of poverty, the number of suicide cases), but actually Gunungkidul has many interesting attractions. From the central city of Jogjakarta to Gunungkidul takes 3 hours to drive a motorcycle. Travel is tiring but I guarantee you will not be bored. Compared with the North Coast, inter-city roads here are very well maintained, smooth, no holes that disrupt road. In addition, the land contours of the hilly, up and down, through forests provide a green landscape. You'll feel we're up the mountain instead of heading to the beach. During the trip we met many car-sized boulders, the ground was rocky, maybe that is causing this difficult area planted with food crops.

BTW we headed to the Kukup beach, there are actually 3 locations coast but we chose the beach Kukup. And we do not regret choosing Kukup beach, look at the scenery, the waves were very large (As with other beaches in the South). The sand is very soft, comfortable to use a walk.





























There is a large rock that reminded me of the beach in Bali. Apparently I was totally wrong costume, go to the beach with a jacket and jeans:) is really inconvenient.






























Areas above is rather difficult to reach, you have to go up the hill first and find the trail down





























What do you need after a tired surf beach? food and coconut water. Especially the coconut water straight from the fruit, ahh really fresh, while enjoying a spicy seafood sauce. Maybe you also should try to visit it next time
