Siung coast is rich in coral-reef giant. Coral cliff
has 250 climbing routes, is also the perfect place to enjoy the beauty of the
beach. There is also a coral-like cloves that became the basis of naming of
Vanara beach.
Siung Beach is located in a remote area in Gunung
Kidul, 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's hard to find public transportation.
Colt or bus from the city Wonosari usually only up to the region Tepus, and
even then had to wait for hours.
Stamina and good vehicle performance is the main
capital to reach this beach. Understandably, many challenges that must be
conquered, from the slopes, sharp turns are sometimes accompanied by
derivatives up to the sweltering heat that hit the skin when the road is
surrounded by limestone hills and fields of crops. Everything is blocked since
the Pathuk (first in the Gunung Kidul district encountered) to the beach.
As if there was no option to run from the challenge.
Gaza Yogyakarta - Wonosari continued into the Gaza Wonosari - Baron - Tepus is
the path most easily accessible, the road has been paved smooth and perfect.
Another pathway through Yogyakarta - Imogiri - Gunung Kidul has a formidable
challenge because many roads are hollow, while the path Wonogiri - Gunung Kidul
if taken too far from the city of Yogyakarta.
Like the saying, "no pain then to have
fun," as would a trip to Beach Siung. Pleasure, relief and peace after you
get to the beach. Blue ocean and white, clean sands will cure the body is
tired. Available a number of wooden houses on the beach, a place to lean back
and chat with friends while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
A charm that stands out from the rock reefs Siung.
Coral reefs are huge in the west and east coast have an important role, not to
add the beauty and the border with other beach. Coral is also the basis of
naming of 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 overhanging the sea. The name is taken from the form of beach rock
which, according to Wastoyo, a local elder, or ape-like Vanara Siung. Until
now, this rock can enjoy the beauty, combined with huge waves that washed over
occasionally, until the cracks laced by seawater that flows slowly, presenting
a dramatic scene.
Ape tartar which is still resistant to scour the
ocean waves is also to witness the triumph of Siung region in the past.
According to the story Wastoyo, Siung region during the trustees to be one
trading center in the area of Gunung
Kidul. Not far from the beach, in Winangun area, there is a traditional market.
In this place also, dwelt Nyai Us and Nyai Podi, wives servants in the palace
of Yogyakarta and Surakarta.
Most of the residents Siung then living as peasants
salt. They rely on sea water and the wealth of its salts as a source of
livelihood. The salt produced by this Siung citizen who was a major commodity
in the market Winangun. Though rich in various kinds of fish, not many people
who dare to go to sea at that time. Generally, they are just looking for fish
in shallow waters.
The situation gradually deserted when Winangun
market, according to the narrative Wastoyo, brought to Yogyakarta. The market
moved from this Winangun Jowinangun reputedly named in Yogyakarta, stands
outside the Jobo Winangun Winganun region. Local people lost their livelihoods
and not many more people coming to this area. No telling what local people to
survive.
In the midst of that quiet, beautiful beach rocks
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
Beach cliffs Siung. Since then, the popularity Siung began to recover again.
Now, there are as many as 250 climbing routes in
Siung, facilitating sport rock climbing enthusiasts. Gaza is likely to still be
added, the rule to be that the existing route with the consent from the maker
of the previous path. Many groups have made use of the climbing routes on this
beach, as a group of students from the State University of Yogyakarta that was
about to climb when we visited this beach.
Other facilities also support the activities of rock
climbing is a camping ground on the east coast. At the camping ground, the
tents can be erected and the fire can be set to spend the night. Terms of use
only one, do not damage the environment and disturbing the turtle habitat 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 is quite large, enough for 10-15 people. The stage-house to
make eye keeksotikan more freely enjoy the beach. Simply by talking to local
residents, perhaps with some amount of this base camp can be used for
overnight.
At night or when there are visitors, long-tailed
monkeys will fall 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 its shape
paired with the teeth of apes, not the other animal species.
Wastoyo revealed, according to the narrative of the
winasih (people who can read the future), will Siung rejomulyo or glory back in
time soon. Increasing number of visitors and its popularity as an arena rock
climbing became one of this beach to its triumph. Tourist visits, including
you, will surely accelerate the coming to the triumph.
