Parangtritis located 27 km south of the city of Yogyakarta and easily accessible by public transportation that operates until 17:00 PM and private vehicles. Afternoon near sundown is the best time to visit the most popular beach in Yogyakarta. But if you arrive more quickly, it could not hurt to go up to the cliffs behind of the beach Gembirawati. From there we could see the whole area Parangtritis, south sea, up to the boundary horizon.
Pssst, I will tell you a secret. Not many people know that in the east of this cliff hidden a ruined temple. Unlike the other temples are located in mountainous areas, Temple Gembirawati only a few hundred meters from the lip Parangtritis. To reach this temple, we can get past the ramp near Hotel Queen of the South and then go up the path to the west about 100 meters. The faint roar of the sea south of the ferocious waves could be heard from this temple.
Parangtritis very closely with the legend of Ratu Kidul. Many people believe that Java is the gateway Parangtritis Queen of South magical kingdom who ruled the sea south. Hotel Queen of the South is a luxurious resort that is named according to this legend.
