Timang Beach
Pantai Timang
A rocky beach on the south coast of Gunungkidul. Visitors can cross to a small offshore island on a wooden manpowered cable car or a suspension bridge above the big waves.
Timang Beach is about 2.5 hours from Yogyakarta. The last stretch is a bumpy dirt road, so you usually change to a local jeep at the junction. Off the coast is a reef island where fishermen once used rope baskets to reach it for lobster fishing. Today visitors can pay to ride a wooden basket cable car (about Rp 200000 to Rp 300000) or cross on a suspension bridge with the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean right below. Swimming is not allowed here. It can be combined with Jomblang Cave and Pindul Cave in a one-day Gunungkidul tour.
