Parangtritis beach has own story for villagers of Yogyakarta. Even The naming of the beach has its own history. Hundreds years ago, someone named Dipokusumo, who was a fugitive of Majapahit Kingdom, came to this area to meditate. When he saw water dripping from the crack of the coral reef, he named this area 'Parangtritis', originating from the word ‘parang’ (stone) and ‘tumaritis’ (water drops). The beach close to the area was then named the same and villagers of Yogyakarta believe this story.

After you enjoying the scenery of Parangtritis beach from the seashore, you can leave for Langse Cave for other experience. On the earth road leading to the cave, you can look westwards to see Parangtritis from different appearance. The high waves rushing to the shore will look silvery under the sun, and will look golden by the sunset time. Yogyakarta got the opportunity to see this exotic view during its visit a couple of days ago.
