Timang Beach
Timang Beach sits on the south coast of Gunungkidul, where a wooden gondola carries visitors across the gap to a rock in the surf. The ride is the reason most people come: a hand-pulled cable car over rough water, run by local fishermen.
The beach itself is small and the access road is rough, so the trip is usually combined with other coastal stops such as the caves or the viewpoints along the coast. Sea conditions decide whether the gondola runs, and the crossing is not advisable in high swell or heavy rain.
Check whether the gondola ticket is included, what happens if the sea is too rough, and how long the stop lasts. Bring cash for the crossing and for food, wear shoes that grip the rocks, and expect a slow drive on the last stretch of road.
