Facing southwards, most beaches in Yogyakarta often face the Indian Ocean. These conditions do not support snorkeling and the formation of coral reefs.
The Nglambor Beach is an exception – an accumulation of rocks off the bay in the shape of two turtles act as shields from waves. Combined with shallow waters and lots of sunlight, the conditions become just right for a coral reef to form, which in turn attracts lots of colourful fish.

Hidden between Siung Beach and Jogan Beach, there’s no access roads to get to the Nglambor Beach. Visitors on four wheels must park at a designated area and walk several hundred metres.

But this inaccessibility keeps the beach more private and exclusive to adventure seekers.

You can wade among the starfish and other residents of the coral reef, or get up close and personal with the underwater wildlife and rent some snorkeling gear!
