Trisik Beach has its uniqeness compared to other beaches in Kulon Progo in terms of its strong nuance as a coastal village. The beach, people's houses, the huts selling foods and the read connecting the village and the town are located closely one to each other. Various activities done by local people that make use of the coastal area and the ocean as source of their living also takes part in strengthening the coastal nuance of the village.

The center of the fish trading is one of some place that you will find when you come into this area. This place serves as the heart of Trisik community whose profession is fishermen, because this is the place where people are trading the fish they get. Usually, this place is busy as soon as the fishermen return from fishing. When YogYES came, there was one of the fishermen bringing the rayfish he got.

Upon arriving at the beach, you will feel the exoticism of the coastal village with the daily fishery world. You will see row of motorboats that fishermen are using when going fishing.

The handicrafts are usually distributed to town or to handicrafts entrepreneurs in different areas for further processing. The craftsmen in town usually do the finishing process by adding some accessories to make them more beautiful. Small in scale, the activity of drying the hyacinth gives living to the people.

Siung Beach is located in a remote area in Gunung Kidul Regency, to the south of Tepus Sub-Regency to be exact. The distance is around 70 kilometer from the center of Yogyakarta city or it will take you around 2 hours drive. Since it is difficult to get public transportation to go the beach, it would be easier if you make your travel with your own vehicle. Public bus or mini van from Wonosari city will stop at Tepus area only and you have to wait long to get one.

When you plan to make your travel by your car or motorcycle, make sure that they are in a very good condition. The reason is that you are going to go through challenging road with climbs, sharp bending and sometimes slopes under the hot sun in between limestone hills and vegetable fields. You will have to overcome all the hindrances since you come to Pathuk area (the first Sub-Regency that you will pass by in Gunung Kidul Regency) until you get to the beach.



You cannot escape from the hindrances. The easiest route with smooth asphalted road you best take is Yogyakarta - Wonosari continued with Wonosari - Baron - Tepus route. Another route, namely Yogyakarta - Imogiri - Gunung Kidul, has harder challenges with road full of holes, while Wonogiri - Gunung Kidul route is to far to take from Yogyakarta city.

Suffering before getting the happiness seems to represent your journey to Siung Beach. You will fee happy, released and peaceful after you get to the beach. The blue ocean and white, clean sands will cure tiredness. Some wooden houses are available for visitors to take shelter or to have a chat with friends while enjoying the beauty of the beach panorama.

One of the prominent enchantments of Siung Beach is its coral reef. The huge coral reefs at the west and east parts of the beach have important function to add the beauty of the scenery and to border with other beach.

The coral reef of which form resembles the fang of a monkey protrudes little bit to the ocean. The name of the beach was - according to Wastoyo, the local senior leader - taken from the form of the coral reef that resembles the shape of a monkey's fang. The coral reef remains beautiful to enjoy with the waves sometimes hit it and the seawater permeates through its cavities.

The monkey's fang coral reef that still stands firmly despite eroding waves becomes the witness of the triumph of Siung area in the past. Wastoyo tells that Siung area was one of the trading centers during the time of Islamic leaders in Gunung Kidul area. Close to the beach, in Winangun area, there is a traditional market. Here, Mrs Kami and Mrs Podi, the widows of the servants of the Yogyakarta and Surakarta Kingdoms lived.

Most of the people in Siung area make their living by producing salt. They rely their lives on the seawater that is rich in rich content. The salt produced by the local people becomes the main commodity in Winangun market. Even though the sea is rich in various kinds of fish, not many local people dare to go sea by that time. Most of them just catch fish at the shallow waters.

The trading in Winangun market was decreasing when the market was "moved" to Yogyakarta. The new market in Yogyakarta that used to be the Winangun market in Siung area was named Jowinangun that stands for Jobo Winangun, meaning outside the Winangun area. Local people lost their livelihood and not many people come to this area. There is no history telling what local people did to keep alive.

It was during the vacuum time that the beauty of the coral reefs in Siung Beach regained its popularity. In around 1989, a group of nature lovers from Japan utilized the coral cliffs to the west of the beach as an arena for cliff climbing. Then, in 1990s, there was a competition of Asian Climbing Gathering utilizing the coral cliff at Siung Beach. Since then, the popularity of Siung Beach began to come back.

As many as 250 climbing routes are now available at Siung Beach to facilitate the lovers of cliff climbing sport. Referring to the rule that the existing route can be added with the consent from the maker of the previous path, the routes can possibly be added. Many groups have made use of the climbing routes in this beach, such as a group of students from the State University of Yogyakarta that was about to climb when YogYES came to visit this beach.

The other facility supporting the cliff climbing activity is the camping ground in the eastern part of the beach. Tents are erected in the camping ground and fire can be set to spend the night. The only requirement to go camping there is destroying the environment and disturbing the turtle habitat as the sign board there says.

Close to the camping ground, a wooden stage-house can be functioned as the base camp as another choice than erecting the tent. It contains 10 - 15 people. The stage-house enables visitors to get wider view of the exotic beach. You only have to get permission from local people and pay some amount of money to use the stage-house.

When night comes or when there are not many visitors, the long-tailed monkeys will get down from the cliff to the shore. The existence of these rare long-tailed monkeys can be one of the reasons why the naming of the coral reef was analogized with the fang of the monkey, not other kinds of animals.

Wastoyo explains, based on what wise men explained, the prosperity and triumph of Siung Beach will come soon. The visit of more people and the increasing popularity as an arena of cliff climbing signal the movement of this beach to its triumph. The visit of tourists, including you, will surely speed up the attainment of the triumph.

Upon entering the gate of Parangkusumo Beach, you will immediately feel the sacred nuance of the beach that is located around 30 kilometers south of Yogyakarta city and it is believed to be the entrance gate to the south ocean. You will soon smell the fragrance of flowers and incense as the materials of an offering; the nuance you will find nowhere but in this beach.

The sacredness of the place feels more distinct when you look at the scattered flowers and sets of offerings on the Love Stone that is located in Puri Cepuri complex where Panembahan Senopati and Queen of the South met and made an agreement. At that time, Senopati was meditating on the bigger stone in the north when Queen of the South approached him and sat on the smaller stone in the south.



The meeting between the two authorities had influence on the relationship between Yogyakarta Kingdom and Bale Sokodhomas Kingdom. It began when Senopati was perfecting his supernatural powers by doing the ritual of tapa ngeli or carrying himself away in the river. Arriving at a certain phase of his meditation, suddenly there was storm on the beach, trees were yanked out by its roots, the seawater was boiling and fish were thrown to the land.

The occurrence compelled the Queen of the South to show up on the surface of the ocean to see Senopati. Senopati expressed his ideal to govern Mataram and asked the Queen of South for her help. The Queen promised him the help with the conditions that Senopati and his descendants would be willing to become her husbands. Senopati took the conditions with the request that the marriage should not bear children.

The agreement made Yogyakarta Kingdom as one of Mataram frictions to have close relationship with the Kingdom of the South Ocean. The proof of such a relationship is the labuhan alit (giving an offering by throwing out certain things to the sea) that is done annually. One part of the labuhan ceremony is planting parts of Sultan's nails, hair and clothes in the area of Puri Cepuri. Please check with Yogyakarta tourism calendar in YogYES.com for this labuhan rite.

The meditation of Senopati that bore useful fruits caused many people to believe that any requests will be answered if they are said by the Love Stone. It is not surprising, therefore, hundreds of people from different classes and religions come to the place on certain days they consider sacred. Going in pilgrimage to the Love Stone is also believed to help someone to release heavy burdens from him and to give new life spirit.

In addition to the Love Stone and the labuhan procession, you can also enjoy the beauty of the beach and the breeze of the seashore on a horse-cart. You only have to pay IDR 20,000 for the pleasant ride.

There are many warongs where you can buy meals and drinks. Quite big numbers of visitors makes this area crowded every day, even until late at night. Some of them even spend the night in this beach to say their prayer. If you want to share the spiritual experience in Parangkusumo Beach, you can join the pilgrims praying.

Congot Beach is the right tourism beach to visit after going to Glagah Beach. Besides, the beach is so close to Glagah Beach and the road is just smooth even for biking. Located in Jangkaran village, Temon Sub-Regency, Kulon Progo Regency, Congot Beach becomes the center of the activities of local people who depend their life on fishing.

The beauty of the scenery can even be enjoyed while you are on the way to the beach. Along the way connecting Wates town and Congot Beach, you can see the green rice field and the activities of local people in Kulon Progo many of them are peasants. Just like the other plain coastal land in other areas, the road is decorated with coconut trees on both sides.



Congot Beach has its own enchantment compared to other beaches because of the strong fishermen and fishery nuances. Along the coastal line, you can see the activities of local people and domestic tourists who are going fishing. On other side, there are also fishermen who are fishing at the seaside, crushing the small crab shells attaching on the net, or cleaning the boat.

You will see the busy activities of the fishermen when you come at the right time. In the morning, fishermen usually go to the sea with their motorboats. In the afternoon, when YogYES came to visit, the fishermen usually bring the fish to be sold at the local fish-trading center.

Walking to the fish-trading center, you can see the wives of the fishermen cleaning the fish and sell to buyers. While fish trading takes place in the trading center, the fishermen are busy cleaning their boats and crush the small crab attaching to the net that will cause the net to tear. The activities are done from the afternoon until about the evening.

If you like fishing, you can express your hobby in this beach. Bringing your fishing equipments you can try your luck to get fish. If you do not have fishing equipments, you can use your small net and walk along the beach to get fish. Visiting with friends or fishing together will surely become an enjoyable activity.

There are some local people run small restaurant business offering seafood as the main menu. Enjoying the dishes while looking at the activities of the fishermen will surely give different nuance compared to enjoying the same menu at a restaurant in town. The delicious smell of fried, grilled fish will get trough your nose, and it evokes good appetite to quickly try it.

After you see the fishermen activities and enjoy the seafood, you can walk westwards to see the scenery of the estuary of Bogowonto River. You can stand on jetty (like dike) on the side of the river or on the stones at the bank of the estuary. The meeting point between the tasteless river water and the salty ocean water makes the area at the side of Congot Beach rich of various fish. At the river estuary, there are various kinds of fish at much quantity.

In order to visit Congot Beach, you do not have to pay extra cost. The entrance fee is included in the entrance ticket to Glagah Beach. The location of Congot Beach that is so close to Glagah Beach serves the reason to visit it. The strong fishermen and fishery nuances make this beach maintain its uniqueness and it cannot be just compared to Glagah Beach.

The imagination of very wide, white-sand beach that enables you to see different angles of the beach will rise when you hear the mention of Wediombo (wedi=sand, ombo=wide) Beach. Nonetheless, Wediombo Beach actually does not have such wide spread of sands. The west and east parts of the beach are planked by coral hills so that the spread of the sands is not as wide as the one in Parangtritis, Glagah, and possibly Kuta beaches.

In fact, local people tell that the name of this beach that was given by the predecessors does not represent the real situation. Some people say that more appropriate name for this beach is Teluk Ombo (The Wide Bay), since the beach looks like a wide bay. There are two flanking coral hills with the seawater protrudes to the land but it is wider that common bays.



Apart from the inappropriate name, however, Wediombo still provides extraordinary beach view. The seawater looks clear blue; it is different from other beaches of which seawater looks greenish resulted from water pollution. The white sands with ornaments of the seashells are maintained well. The atmosphere of the beach is quiet so that it becomes the right place to get out of noisiness.

Wediombo is located in Jepitu village of Girisubo Sub-District in Gunung Kidul Regency. If you have come to Siung Beach, you will easily reach this beach. You only have to get back to a T-junction in Tepus before the road leading to Siung Beach, then turn right following the road until you get to a sign board asking you to turn right to get to Wediombo.

The location of this beach is far lower that the surrounding lands. You have to get down by the stairs in order to reach the beach and enjoy the panorama. While descending the stairs, you will be able to see the field, houses and mangrove vegetation on your left and right sides. Some people are seen carrying herbs for their cattle or taking care of the cattle in its stall.

In addition to the enchanting coastal panorama, Wediombo offers a unique tour experience, if not an extreme one, namely fishing from the height of the coral cliff. This kind of tour originating from the fishing habit of local people is popular with fishing hobbyists from Yogyakarta and Wonogiri. The main objective is, according to local people to YogYES, to catch big fish.

It is not easy to reach the fishing location at the top of the coral cliff. We have to walk eastwards through the shore; climbing steep and slippery cliff and sometimes the waves will hit us before arriving at the cliff that directly faces the deep ocean. For those who have been familiar with the route, it will take them one-hour walk.

The difficult way to the cliff, however, is paid well. Big fish are sometimes caught by the hobbyists. At least they will catch fish that local people name it panjo fish. The fish of which size is as big as man's arm are of two kinds, the cylindrical one that exist more during dry season and the flat one during the rainy season.

The baits are small fish that can even be collected at the seashore. We can use either fishing pole or fishnet to catch the small fish. It's cheap and easy, isn't it?

For those who do not dare to get to the top of the cliff, they might just buy the fish they the fishermen catch. They sell the panjo fish at IDR 3,000 one fish, or IDR 20,000 for a string of fish containing 5-6 fish. Some local people are willing to cook them for you if you wish. Otherwise, you can take them home as a gift for your family.

Cooked panjo fish are also available. Served with rice and condiment from chili pepper, fried Panjo fish is sold at IDR 7,000 only. The rice is served in the traditional container called bakul and the condiment is on traditional saucer called cobek. The portion is big enough for two persons. YogYES tried this menu in a warong located close to the parking area. Fried sea urchin that tastes like fried chicken is also available if you want to try.

At certain occasions, you can see Ngalangi ceremony that is held by local people. This ceremony takes place once in a year, just like the labuhan besar ceremony, of which objective is to express the gratitude to God for what have been granted and asking for good fortune for the future. The fortune is mainly good catches in sufficient quantity to fulfill daily needs.

The procession of the ceremony is unique; it begins by spreading gawar - the fishnet made from wawar tree. This kind of fishnet was used to catch fish before the present nylon fishnet. The gawar is spread out from Kedongkowok hill to the area of the rise and fall of the tides in order to trap the fish that are washed away by the waves and that cannot get back to the sea.

When seawater falls, the fish are collected. People are then busy cleaning and cooking the fish. Some of the fish are returned to the sea with some rice ans offerings. Most part of the dish is shared to the families. This ceremony is known as kenduri besar or great shared-meals as the form of local wisdom that fish are livelihood for all people.

In addition to Ngalangi ceremony, the enchantment of the beach can be enjoyed everyday. The entrance fee is only IDR 5,000 for two persons. If you want to spend the night and gather with some of your friends, you can use a small hut located close to the warongs alongside the beach. It is so refreshing to be in this beach.

This time the story of the streets I was on the beach Kuwaru one of the beaches in Bantul. More precisely Kuwaru Coast Village located in the hamlet Kuwaru Poncosari Srandakan Bantul District, Yogyakarta. The beach was not as popular Kuwaru Parangtritis, Depok Beach, Samas and other beaches in Yogyakarta, because as a tourist attraction Kuwaru Coast including the "new". Yet beauty is not lost shore Kuwaru with other beaches.

What makes Beach Kuwaru different from other beaches are a row of lush Pine Tree Kuwaru shrimp along the coast. The atmosphere is what makes the beach Kuwaru very cool and not hot. In contrast to the beach in general. While enjoying the coconut ice and fish grilled on the beach was full tour Kuwaru.


For children Kuwaru beach can also be a haven play, because of different games and swimming pool are available on the sidelines of the thick Pine Shrimp. For those who want to venture among the pine trees Kuwaru coastal shrimp do not have to worry about tired because there is ATV Motor which can be rented at the beach Kuwaru.


Currently Kuwaru coast is still in development stage and has not worked optimally, Bantul regency reportedly intends to make the beach area Kuwaru as integrated fish harbor pier. But it is still waiting for investors who are willing to develop the fishing pier at the beach Kuwaru.

To reach the beach from the direction Kuwaru can route Jogja Jogja - Bantul - Palbapang turn right - Srandakan before the bridge turn left - Beach Kuwaru. From the direction Puworejo, can route Purworejo - Srandakan after the bridge turn right - Beach Kuwaru. To enter the beach area Kuwaru currently exempt from Cost Levy, enough to pay two thousand dollars for parking motorcycles and five thousand tuntuk car. Welcome to Streets Beach Kuwaru.

Coming to the Coast Ngrenehan and enjoy the grilled fish is incomplete if you drop on the beach next to it, Ngobaran. Location of high rugged coast is only about two kilometers from the beach Ngrenehan. Not far away is not it? Coastal residents Ngrenehan just talked often and stopped by the Coast Ngobaran, why would you not?

Ngobaran is an exotic beach. If low tide, you can see the spread of the algae (seaweed), both the green and brown. When viewed from above, the spread of the algae that grows on the sidelines of the reef looks like a rice field in a densely populated area. Dozens of marine animals are also present on the sidelines of coral, ranging from sea urchins, starfish, until the shellfish group.
But that is not contained in the other shore is the charm of its culture, ranging from food to building residents. One of them is interesting is that there is a place of worship for four of religion or belief were standing close together. Is that form of multiculturalism? Who knows.

The most visible buildings are places of worship like temples with statues of gods are white. Place of worship was built in 2003 to commemorate the presence of UB V, a descendant of the king of Majapahit, in Ngobaran. People who worship in this place was of the belief Kejawan (not Kejawen know). The name "Kejawan" according to a story derived from the name of one son of UB V, ie Bondhan Kejawan. Builders place of worship is claimed to be descendants of UB V and appoint one citizen to keep this place.

Walk to the left of the place of worship, you will see a Joglo used for places of worship Kejawen followers. When YogYES visited this place, some followers of people were saying their prayer. According to locals, different beliefs Kejawen Kejawan. However, they can not pinpoint the difference.

If you continue down a path that lies ahead Joglo, you will find a box of rocks overgrown with dry plants. Plants are lined with gray wood. Point where the dry growing was the place where UB V pretend to burn yourself. The move was gone through because the UB V not fight against his own son, Raden Patah (King I Demak).

Truth is the story of the UB V doubted by many historians. Why, if indeed Raden Patah attacking UB V then it will give the impression that Islam spread by force. Many historians believe that the historical evidence that there is not strong enough to declare that Raden Patah attack. Learn how, maybe you can find your own.

A few meters from the dry box where there is growing temple for Hindu places of worship. No detail of its foundation.

At the front of the mosque there is a growing branch measuring approximately 3x4 meters. The mosque building is quite simple because the floor is of sand. As if fused with its beach. Interestingly, if most mosques in Indonesia facing the West, the mosque was facing south. The front of the imam leading the prayer is open so can immediately see the ocean. When YogYES asked local people, no one knows the reason. In fact, locals wondered because the building was one of the famous Kyai NU followers who lived at Bake, Mount Kidul. As a guide for those who will pray, give local residents a sign on the wall with a red pencil on the true direction of Qibla.

After being amazed at the religious site, you can get down to the beach. Then came the morning, then visitors will find the central coast seaweed harvest to be sold to middlemen. They usually sell seaweed for Rp 1,000 to Rp 1,500 per kilo. The result is bad for their daily lives.

However, if you come late afternoon, usually you will find people looking for sea urchins for food in the evening. To be edible, prickly sea urchin dikepras first flat and then broken using a sickle. Meat that is in part the sea urchin kemudioan taken out. Usually people look for sea urchin, armed with buckets, oil filter, sickle, and hat to avoid heat.

Sea urchins were obtained usually in the form of salt and chili seasoning then fried. According to residents, the sea urchin meat is quite chewy and delicious. Unfortunately, not many people who sell exotic food. But if you want to order, just try asking on one of the residents to cook. Who knows, you can also share ideas on how to cook so that the people of the coastal sea urchin Ngobaran can use that knowledge to improve their business life.

Complete is not it? From the beautiful beaches, the charm of the place of worship until the dish is tempting. Perhaps there is no elsewhere.

If you want to enjoy the nostalgic feel of old days of Kuta Beach, Coast Along is the right place. Along a long coastline, white sand that is still awake, and the waves are. You can just choose to sunbathe on the sand enjoying the sun, splitting the waves with a surfboard, or just see the beauty of the beach. Everything you can enjoy once arrived at the beach a few kilometers from the beach Sundak.

Along the coast is one of the newly opened beach. The name "All" is given as characteristic of this coast which has the longest coastline of all the beaches in the South Mountain District. The atmosphere of this beach is very natural. Palm-dotted shoreline plants and thatched huts of dried leaves. Reefs in the area of ??tidal beach is still preserved. Blows of the waves still reflect the blue sea water mark that has not been contaminated. With the atmosphere, it is not wrong if the local government and investors are planning to make this beach the second Kuta Beach.
The atmosphere is what makes the experience more Along the coast from Kuta Beach. Throughout do not offer things like beach cafe cliche and luxurious cottages, but a closeness with nature. The proof, you'll be able to search the rocks for finding various types of shellfish (molluscs) and starfish (Echinodermata). You'll also be able to find a limpet on the rock around the coast and uprooted seaweed embedded. Of course, being careful not to sea urchin spines stuck. Obviously not you, you will not see him at Kuta Beach?

Culture of coastal communities are also still very strong. No permanent buildings on the beach, only a few huts inhabited by local people. Still on the beach, there are fields that are used to plant soybean population. The beach is gently sloping and directly exposed to the waves caused no fishing population. When looking back, it would seem that the two slopes of the hill locals used to grow corn as a staple food source. Land on top of the hill has been purchased by an investor to build a villa that hope can be used as tourist accommodation.

Throughout also has historic sites, namely Banyusepuh. "Banyu" means water and "elderly" means a wash. As the name implies, a place that had the form of springs is used for washing or bathing. Users are supposedly the guardians who usually wash inheritance. This site will not be known to exist when not asked to the local population. When YogYES see, this site is only a puddle dry overgrown weeds.

Tired of traveling, then the rest. Huts are located at the seaside residents are typically used to sell food and beverages that if sufficient to remove hunger and thirst. Lincak also provided (seating is composed of bamboo) for a place to chat and enjoy the beach breeze. YogYES had felt how cool shade under the hut. When dusk arrives, look to the west to witness the departure of the sun. Although now no villas, but the locals are pretty open when there is a stay.

Problem by-by to go home, visitors will not have to search for spinning. Is not a gift should not always be shaped food? Some residents who lived a few miles from the coast already making handicrafts made from shellfish shells are then marketed by the inhabitants of the coast. Although not sekomersil in Malaysia, crafts made by residents is quite varied. There is a carriage-shaped creations, the puppets, barong, tongs, or who simply dried and buried in the sand. Some are simple painted using paint. The price is not expensive, only Rp 5,000 per seed.

Craft a cheap price does not mean low value. Handicrafts made from molluscs actually have great historical value. If you've ever read a book or article on Conchology, you will know that the craft is a supreme form of culture that developed in the coastal community. The people of Hawaii in the United States, Island Melanesia, atapun Maori in New Zealand to develop a similar craft. They assemble of shellfish shells into necklaces, skirts, belts, to sculpt and paint it into fine art all-powerful.

If the money in the wallet is tight, visitors can collect shells at the beach. This small object can be a prize draw if further processing. Take some fruit shells are still intact and insert in a plastic bag. At home, buy tobacco or mint and mix with 90% alcohol. After soaking a day and night, take the shell and rub gently. The move will eliminate a layer of lime on the shell, so we are left with only the middle layer (prismatic layer). Rubbing will make the colors more brilliant shells.

Well, very interesting is not in place long tour? So, what are you waiting? You just drove a motorcycle or your car's gas pedal.

The mention of the name Coast earlier Indrayanti reap much controversy. Indrayanti not the name of the beach, but the name of the owner of the cafe and restaurant. Since the name is emblazoned on Indrayanti shingle beach cafes and restaurants, eventually people call this beach by beach name Indrayanti. While the government named this beach as the beach Home Shawwal. But the name Indrayanti far more popular and more commonly known than the Return of Shawwal. The involvement of private parties in the management of Coastal Indrayanti apparently helped bring a positive impact. Unlike the other beaches are rather dirty, along the shoreline Indrayanti look clean and free from rubbish.

Throughout Indonesia, there is only one beach to watch the sunrise and sunset the same standing in one spot. "The beach was the beach Losari, location", so said Jusuf Kalla said one community leader there told me as he boasts of this beach, a while ago. I was initially confused by this fact. The position of the beach that extends North-South is indeed able to watch the rising and setting of the sun in one position. Unique indeed.

Apart from that, Losari beach is one of the most rehearsal and chic beaches I've been to all over Indonesia, and another great beach is right in the heart of big cities. Comparing with some great beach cities in Java, it is clear Losari top: waste-free and comfortable visit. As I write this I imagine the smell and kroditnya situation in Tanjung Priok Jakarta, or the port of Perak in Surabaya. Not surprisingly, the first Queen Elizabeth of England when they travel to Jakarta (80's era) he did not want to get out of the car on arrival at Tanjung Priok because he was so shocked by the smell and amburadulnya dipelabuhan situation. He thought, Tanjung Priok as beautiful as Hong Kong harbor. This incident became "incident protocol" which is a shame, but that's the face of the port in Jakarta.

Losari beach very strategic position and became an integral part of the atmosphere of the city of Napier which stretches as far as approximately 4 miles. The beach is directly accessible by the main road the main protocol. Unfolding everywhere hotel across the street with a variety of classes. Call it a name of the hotel is located very close to the shoreline al: Hotels MGM, Losari Beach Hotel, Quality Hotel, Hotel Aryadutta, and the Hotel Aston. For mid-budget traveler, Hotel Sejong Beach can choose, or go a little bit into the street Joseph Latumahina, there is a nice little hotel that is Hotel Canary. I myself prefer Quality Hotel or Hotel Sejong okay Beach because of its location, and price is not exorbitant.

The most ideal time to visit is late afternoon Losari beach between the hours of 15:00 until 21:00 hours. Many who come here to sit down sit down to enjoy clean beaches, jogging along the pedestrian as far as 500m, or eat diwarung stalls that had been relocated by the local government (the southernmost tip of the beach). Young and old will come here to enjoy the sunset here while membelu food from vendors. If you like jogging, this place is ideal. Clean air and the wind blows incessantly, sweeping golden sun the red man who sat face the beach.

Merchants sells a variety of food ranging from light snacks are just chock stomach like meatballs or fried. There are also traditional foods such as Coto Makassar or seafood dishes with the original recipe Bugis people. It was delicious!

The atmosphere is very orderly and safe, I feel comfortable here. But there is one that I complain about that: buskers. They ngeyel, can not be rejected for not singing. So it just sort of compulsion to listen to them sing, and pushy by innuendo if not given money. They were not just singing alone, but comes with the same group of friends together to sing with a tone (sorry, yes) is not good. Convenience of the beach is reduced because only minus one point because of the presence of singers who do not know the rules and play of this force. There are good local government and officials do counseling in order to comfort the Sejong not tainted because of this kind because hordes of singers.
