Yogyakarta: Speechless Beauty on the Coastal Cliffs! 🌊

#summervacay On Friday, I rented a car from Semarang and drove down to Yogyakarta's coastline. Many colleagues had told me that Indonesia's most beautiful beaches aren't in Bali, but in Yogyakarta. While I still think Bali's beaches, especially around the outer islands or Uluwatu Temple (Lover's Cliff), are stunning, the spot I found in Yogyakarta, Kesirat, truly amazed me. It's about an hour's drive from Gunung Kidul, all along the same beautiful coastline. What makes Kesirat so special is how unspoiled and less crowded it is. The scenery reminded me a bit of Bali's Uluwatu Temple, but with even more dramatic and intricate cliff formations. It felt much wilder and more untouched. All in all, despite driving for over ten hours round trip, the breathtaking coastal cliffs of Yogyakarta were absolutely worth it. Next month, when I'm back for my business trip, I definitely plan to explore Gunung Kidul and Wediombo Beach more deeply! #yogyakarta #kesirat #indonesiatravel #coastalcliffs

1. Pantai Watu Walang Address - Gunung Kidul Rating - 4,5/5 Seru banget ke pantai ini, serasa pantai pribadi karena saat kesana tidak ada orang selain saya dan teman teman. Bisa untuk beach camp juga. Pantai ini terlihat tidak luas, namun jika berjalan menyusuri celah batu karang yg terlihat seperti pintu (lawang), maka akan menemukan pantai yg sangat luas dan juga indah. #beaches
