Very Powerful Waves in Glagah Beach, Yogyakarta

Glagah beach is in Kulon Progo regency, Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia.

By the time we reached this area, we could hear the sound of huge waves from the main gate. We started by climbing a tower to watched the landscape view from distance.
Welcome to Glagah Beach
When we got in to the entrance we didn't park our car where there are local seafood restaurants stand, we just went straight to the beach, but first we passed a beautiful blue-green lagoon where fishing boats docked (next to fish/shrimps farms with fisherman's houses).

The beach has awesome huge waves same as other Java southern beach waves -- looks like tsunami waves to me. And beautiful views to every directions, not just beach view but also landscape of mountains view. Wonderful.

It was our weekday visit, so it was very nice and quiet because not so many people around, there are only few people fishing. But they said this place was crowded on the weekend with lots of fun activities (biking, motocross, etc) and at a certain date they held a traditional ceremony.

There are also motels in this area with beach view of course, so don't worry about the accommodation.
