Parangtritis is the most
popular beach in Yogyakarta.
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.
