Ngobaran and Ngrenehan Beach Vacation















Go to the beachs on the weekends can be a pleasant experience. You can enjoy your free time with a breath of fresh air in the beach. Me and my family have visited the Ngobaran and Ngrenehan beach last week. With the little cost but was able to make our holiday very enjoyable.

Look at my children..! They are very excited playing on the white sand...

Ngobaran is an exotic beach with white sand. When the water receded, you can see the spread of the algae (seaweed) either the green or brown. If viewed from above the cliff, spread of the algae looks like a paddy field. There are many types of marine animals between the coral reefs. But the most interesting in this place is a cultural charm, There are four different places of religious worship was established nearby. The most obvious buildings are places of worship such a temple with the gods statue.

Not far from the Ngobaran beach, there are Ngrenehan beach, a shore of the bay surrounded by limestone hills and has a very fascinating panorama. It's located about 2 km to the east. Here we can see the fisherman activities and we can also enjoy a lot of seafood are sold here or just buy fresh fish to take home.

Both these beaches located at the Kanigoro village, Saptosari, Gunung Kidul, it's approximately 30 km south of the Wonosari city region of Jogjakarta - Indonesia.
