Beach Siung
Type text or a website address or translate a document.
Siung coast, has 250 points ClimbingSiung beach located in a remote area in the District of South Mountain, south district Tepus precisely. The distance is about 70 km from the city center, or about 2 hours drive. Reaching the beach is a motorcycle or a car of choice of many people, because it is difficult to get public transportation. Colt or bus from the city Wonosari usually only get to Tepus region, and even then had to wait for hours.Stamina and a good vehicle performance is the primary capital to be able to reach this beach. Understandably,
many challenges must be conquered, from the hill, sometimes accompanied
by a sharp bend to the derivative of the heat that hit the skin when
the road is surrounded by limestone hills and fields of crops. Everything is blocked since the Pathuk (first district in Gunungkidul encountered) to the beach.As if there was no option to run from the challenge. The
Gaza City - Gaza Wonosari continued to Wonosari - Baron - Tepus is the
most accessible path, the path has been paved smooth and perfect. Another
pathway through Yogyakarta - Imogiri - South Mountain has a formidable
challenge because many roads are hollow, while the path Wonogiri -
Gunungkidul if taken too far from the city of Yogyakarta.Such a phrase, "no pain to have fun then," as would a trip to the beach Siung. Pleasure, relief and peace can only be felt when it has reached the shore. Blue
ocean and white sand, clean body will treat the lelah.Tersedia number
of wooden houses on the beach, a place to rest and chat with friends
while enjoying the beautiful scenery.A charm which is protruding from the rock reefs Siung. Coral reefs are huge on the west and east coast have an important role, not to add the beauty and limiting the other shore. Coral
was also the basis of naming the beach, witness the triumph of the
coastal areas in the past and the charm that makes this beach is
increasingly recognized, at least in Asia.Rock on which the naming of the beach is located slightly protrudes into the sea. The name is taken from the beach rocks form by Wastoyo, a local elder, resemble an ape or Siung Wanara teeth. Until
now, this rock can enjoy the beauty, combined with large waves that
sometimes reaches it, until the cracks laced by slowly flowing sea
water, presents a dramatic sight.Tartar apes that still stand from the ocean waves scour is also to witness the triumph of the cloves in the past. According to the story Wastoyo, the cloves at the time the trustee becomes a center of trade in the region of South Mountain. Not far from the beach, in Winangun area, there is a market. In this place also, silence and Nyai Nyai We Podi, wife of the courtiers of Yogyakarta and Surakarta.Most of the residents Siung then worked as a farmer salt. They rely on sea water and salts of wealth as a source of livelihood. The salt produced by the citizens of this Siung who was a major commodity in the market Winangun. Although rich in various kinds of fish, not many people dare to go to sea at the time. Generally, they only catch fish on the banks.The situation gradually deserted when Winangun market, according to the narrative Wastoyo, trafficked to Jogjakarta. The
market is said to have moved from Winangun in Yogyakarta named
Jowinangun, stands outside the Jobo Winangun Winganun region. Local residents have lost their livelihoods and not many people who come to this area. No telling what local people to survive.In the midst of that quiet, the beauty of the rock Siung back into play. Around 1989, a group of nature lovers from Japan utilized the coral cliffs located on the west coast as an arena rock climbing. Then, in the decade of the 90s, was a competition of Asian Climbing Gathering utilizing the coral cliff Siung Coast. Since then, the popularity Siung started to recover again.Now, there are as many as 250 climbing routes in Siung, facilitating rock climbing sports fans. Pathway
is likely to still be added, to the rule can be that the existing route
with the permission of the manufacturer's previous track. Many
groups have made use of the climbing routes on the coast, as a group of
students from the State University of Yogyakarta that was about to
climb when YogYES visit this beach.Other facilities also support the activities of rock climbing is a camping ground on the east coast. In the camping ground, the tents can be erected and fire can be set to spend the night. Requirement
to use only one, do not damage the environment and disturbing the
turtle habitat, such as the sign board warning contained in the camping
ground which can also be used for those who just want to spend the
night.Not far from the camping ground, a wooden house on stilts that can be used as a base camp, a choice but to set up a tent. The size of the base camp large enough, enough for 10-15 people. The stage-house currency more freely enjoy the exotic beaches. Simply by talking to local residents, perhaps accompanied by some amount of money it can be used for overnight.When the night or when there are visitors, long-tailed monkeys would come down from the cliff to the beach. Long-tailed macaques are now increasingly rare on the coast there's also this. The
existence of long-tailed macaques may also be one reason why the rock
on which the naming of teeth fitted shape with a monkey, not the other
animal species.Wastoyo
revealed, according to the narrative of the winasih (those who could
read the future), will Siung rejomulyo or glory back in time soon. Increasing number of visitors and popularity as an arena rock climbing to be one of this beach to its triumph. Tourist visits, including you, will surely accelerate the coming to the triumph.

Beach Sundak
Sundak Beach, Dog Fights and Hedgehogs are Reaping BlessingSundak beaches not only has a fascinating natural scenery, but also keeps the story. Sundak name turned out to have the evidence that evolution can be traced geologically.In order to know how evolution, visitors must know first Sundak Coast suburb conditions then and now. On the western edge of the beach when there is a mosque and visit YogYES space now used as a parking lot. While in the east there is a cave formed by a rock about 12 meters altitude. Entering the cave, natural wells will be found where people get fresh water.Areas described above prior to 1930 are still submerged sea. That said, the water to a region that is now a mosque, which form the rock caves were still under water. As the geological processes on the southern coast, the sea shrank and more jutting into the sea water. Rock and the area around the mosque became the new land which is then utilized coastal residents to economic activity to date.There is a unique natural phenomenon due to the activity which eventually became the starting point of naming this beach. During the wet season, a lot of water flowing from land to sea. As a result, the plains on the east coast of splitting to form a formation like a river. The water that flows like mbedah (splitting) of sand. When the drought came, it disappeared and along parts of the sea water came in with the sand. Natural phenomenon that causes the name of the beach into Wedibedah (sand split). When it comes wedi YogYES was not split.The name change took place several decades later. Around the year 1976, there was an interesting event. One afternoon, a dog was running around the beach and enter the cave corals met with a sea urchin. Because the hungry, the dog was intended to take sea urchins, but the hedgehog escape. There was a fight that eventually won the dog managed to eat half of the body with sea urchin and exit the cave with pride. Actions known to the owner of the dog, named Arjasangku, which saw half of the sea urchin's body in a dog's mouth. Checking into the cave, apparently the owner found the body of sea urchin and a half remaining. Well, since then, the name changed to Sundak Wedibedah, abbreviation of asu (dog) and porcupine.Unexpectedly, the fight was a blessing for locals. After decades of water shortages, residents finally found the springs. Initially, the wonder dog owner because the dog out of the cave with dripping wet. Hypothesis, in the cave there is water and the dog had drowned while pursuing porcupines. After trying out some investigations, the prediction turned out correct. Be present, the water in a cave used for the purpose of living. From inside the cave, now installed pipes to connect with people. The findings of this spring treat disappointments as well established populations were inundated by sea water.Well, if the condition in 1930 just as was said above, can be expected conditions hundreds of years earlier. Certainly very many organisms that take advantage of rock bottom that is now the cave and what is now the mainland. Therefore,
many archaeologists believe that as a consequence of geological
processes that exist, many organisms that left and piled into a fossil. About what fossils are found, it has so far not been much research reveals.Besides offering a silent witness to history, Sundak also offers an evening of fun. You can enjoy the night wind while ordering raw fish to be grilled with a friend. By paying a few thousand, you can buy wood for fuel. If you are lazy, so that messages are cooked ready to eat. What is clear, do not be confused to find a place to stay. Visitors can sleep anywhere, set up a tent, or just lying on the shop bench when unused nights. Darkness does not need to fuss, is not boring if you live on brightly lit?If you want to, interact with people can be a revelation. You can find out how people live, their culture, and of course new people who might be able to change your outlook on life. Mbah Tugiman meet the usual vigil in the parking lot or Mbah Arjasangku could be an option. They are one of the elders at the beach Sundak. Talking
to them makes you not just see the evidence of history but also get
stories from people who witnessed how the history engraved.

But the name Indrayanti much more popular and more commonly known than the Return of Shawwal. Private sector involvement in the management of Coastal Indrayanti apparently helped bring a positive impact.
