Pantai Menganti, Beach in Kebumen, Indonesia.
Pantai Menganti is a beach in Kebumen with white sand and turquoise waters, bordered by limestone cliffs that rise as natural walls on both sides. The sandy shore spreads between these rocky formations, creating an enclosed setting.
Indonesia's government opened this site in 2011 with a national surfing festival, marking its transformation into a protected recreational area. Since then it has developed as a coastal destination for water sports.
Local fishermen work here daily, keeping alive fishing traditions that have supported families for generations. You can watch their boats and nets become part of the everyday rhythm of this beach.
Access is via a route of about 40 kilometers from Gombong district, with an entrance fee collected on site. Plan for the distance and allow adequate time for the journey.
A red bridge structure rises above the beach and serves as a viewing platform overlooking the Indian Ocean. From this structure, visitors can watch both sunrise and sunset.
