Pacitan

Pacitan is a town in East Java located on the south of the island adjacent to the Indian Ocean.

Known as the City of 1001 Caves, Pacitan is surrounded by cave-filled limestone karsts and hills and is also famous for its surf breaks. Although there is much potential for future tourism development, Pacitan is a town not yet on the tourism trail, lacking this infastructure entirely. Pacitan was the birthplace of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, President of Indonesia.

Access to Pacitan and the surrounding region is by road only. Travel minibusses (3.5 hours) leave Yogyakarta from travel agencies and the main bus terminal (Terminal Giwangan), predominantly in the morning. It is advisable to get in early or book ahead. Chartering a car is also an option from Yogyakarta. Public busses are available from Solo, leaving every hour, although services are more common earlier in the day (5 hours, Rp 30,000)

Banyu Tibo, Pacitan.

Banyu means Water, and Tibo means Fall. So it means waterfall.
To get to this private sand spot, we had to go down using a bamboo ladder.
The view from the top is quite amazing as well.
