🇮🇩TIMANG BEACH,Jogja(Yogyakarta)

Timang Beach (Pantai Timang) is located in the Tepus area of Gunung Kidul, within the Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. It’s about 35 km from Wonosari, and roughly a 2.5 to 3-hour drive from Yogyakarta city. The last few kilometers require a 4WD jeep or motorcycle to access due to rough terrain. 🌊Geography & Landscape • The beach is divided into two parts: • The eastern side features white sandy beaches. • The western side is made up of steep rocky cliffs. • Just off the coast stands Panjang Island (also known as Timang Island or Big Rock Island), where waves crash spectacularly. It’s also known as a lobster habitat, historically used by local fishermen. 🎢 Main Attractions: Gondola Ride & Rope Bridge • The highlight of Timang is the man-powered gondola, built by local fishermen using wood, steel cables, ropes, and pulleys. It crosses the rough sea to the rocky island and is a thrilling ride for adventurous visitors. • Alternatively, you can cross via a suspension rope bridge to the island — also quite daring and sometimes soaked by crashing waves. • Ticket prices (approximate for international visitors): • Gondola ride: IDR 200,000 • Rope bridge: IDR 100,000 (Locals typically pay less.) 🚙 Transportation & Tips • It’s best to rent a car with a driver. The final stretch requires a 4WD vehicle — app services like Grab or GoCar do not work here. • There’s usually a small entrance or donation fee, so bring IDR 150,000–200,000 in cash. • There are no public swimming areas, and swimming is not recommended. It’s more for sightseeing and photography. • Wear comfortable clothes and walking shoes, and bring sunscreen, a camera, and cash for tickets and snacks. ⏱ Suggested Itinerary • Often visited together with Jomblang Cave or Pindul Underground River, making it ideal for a one-day adventure trip. • Sunset views are especially beautiful with the island silhouette, so arriving in the afternoon is recommended for photography. ⏱ Suggested Itinerary • Often visited together with Jomblang Cave or Pindul Underground River, making it ideal for a one-day adventure trip. • Sunset views are especially beautiful with the island silhouette, so arriving in the afternoon is recommended for photography.

Jomblang Cave (Semanu): Cap off with spelunking in Jomblang Cave—the descent is dramatic, but the reward is the radiant “Heaven’s Light” beaming through the cavern. Must-do: Join the guided tour for safe rappelling and catch the magical light pillar (best between 10 AM–12 PM). Photo spot: At the bottom, face up where the shafts illuminate the fog.

Precaution: The gondola can be scary—double-check safety harnesses, and avoid rainy days as the rocks get slippery. Address: Jl. Pantai Sel. Jawa, Purwodadi, Tepus, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. Opening: 08:00-17:00. #Yogyakarta #NatureEscape #Tepus #Cangkringan #Semanu
