Parangtritis

Quite large crowds of mainly local tourists visit Parangtritis over weekends and at holidays.

Larger tourist buses as well as various types of cheaper minibuses ply the route to the beach from Yogyakarta.

There are local tourist facilities at Parangtritis including parking arrangements, modest hotels which provide visitors with places to change and shower, and small restaurants.

[2] Local folklore warns visitors not to wear green clothes or the queen is likely to try to entice the wearer into the ocean to drown.

Drownings are not uncommon at Parangtritis,[4] partly because many Indonesians have never had the opportunity to learn proper swimming technique at beach and partly because channels, strong rips and sizable waves often occur off the beach.
