Ngobaran

The beach features black volcanic sand, coral reefs, and steep cliffs that overlook the sea along the southern coast of Java island.

The site contains remnants of ancient structures believed to be connected to King Brawijaya's fort, marking its significance in Indonesian maritime history.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices and conduct ceremonies with offerings to honor marine deities according to Javanese customs.

The beach becomes accessible during low tide, typically around 3 AM, when visitors can join local fishermen collecting seaweed between the exposed reefs.

The exposed coral beds at low tide create patterns that resemble terraced rice fields, hosting numerous marine species including starfish and sea urchins.
