Beaches in Gunungkidul
When it comes to Yogyakarta's best beaches, Gunungkidul is the answer. Dozens of white-sand beaches with dramatic karst cliffs line up here — from Indrayanti and Nglambor for snorkeling to Timang with its traditional bamboo gondola. Unlike Bantul's black sand, Gunungkidul's beaches are generally clearer and cliff-backed. Since they're spread out, the most efficient way to explore is a 2 days 1 night Yogyakarta tour with transport included, or a Yogyakarta tour with an arranged route.
