Pantai Karangbolong

The beach stretches along the Indian Ocean with dark sand shorelines and high limestone cliffs that form natural barriers against ocean waves.

The beach has maintained its natural state since the 1800s, when Dutch colonists first documented the geological formations along Central Java's southern coast.

Local fishermen gather at sunrise near the rocky outcrops to catch fish using traditional Indonesian methods passed down through generations.

Visitors can reach the beach by taking a 30-minute drive from Kebumen city center, with parking facilities available near the main entrance.

A natural arch formation in the limestone cliff creates a tunnel through which waves flow during high tide, producing distinct sounds.
