Pantai Ayah (Ayah Beach) – Central Java

I remembered when I was a little girl, regularly visiting this beach. Stepping the white sand while watching the white broken waves is thing I like mostly about this beach to the moment. Go further, it is safe to ride a small boat available here as there are no big waves as it is located on a bay protected by rocks and a small island (delta). You may feel a sensation while you are on the boat exploring the bay down to the river feeding the ocean through this beach.

On the eastern part you will find a cliff line with rocks come up to the beach. While enjoying the beautiful view of the beach, the rocks and the hills surrounding, you will feel the thrill of the wind come out of the sea.

Where-else to go
While traveling to this beach, you can come down to Jatijajar Cave and Petruk Cave as well, laying inside foothills beside the road to this beach.  The two caves are quite famous for their unique structure and natural environment.

How to reach there

The beach is located at southern side of Gombong Town, Kebumen-Central Java , about 20 km apart.

You can make your own adventure to these beautiful natural places by taking a flight to Adi Sucipto Airport, Yogyakarta. You can take a train or bus from Yogyakarta to Gombong Kebumen, and take local transportation or rent car to this beach along with Jatijajar cave and Petruk Cave. It takes about 1.5 hours by train from Yogyakarta  to Gombong, or 3 hours by bus or rent car.

Enjoy your trip to Ayah Beach, and I hope to see you there sometimes :)

Where to stay
If you plan to stay at Gombong or Kebumen you can find a lot of hotels downtown from small hotels to star hotels. It is aobut 30 minutes drive from the Ayah  beach. You can enjoy javanese foods in your hotel or its surrounding.

Happy traveling :)
