Pantai Timang

Pantai Timang is a coastal attraction in Purwodadi village, Tepus District, Gunungkidul Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, facing the Indian Ocean. It is notable for its dramatic rocky cliffs, white sand cove, and offshore limestone islet Pulau Timang connected by a traditional wooden gondola and suspension bridge. Originally used by local lobster fishermen, the gondola has become an iconic visitor experience offering panoramic ocean views and insight into coastal fishing heritage.

Visitors can expect a rugged coastal landscape with steep limestone cliffs, a small white-sand beach, and strong Indian Ocean waves. The main focus is the offshore rock island Pulau Timang, accessible via a manually operated wooden gondola or a suspension bridge. Visitors can watch or ride the gondola, walk the bridge, enjoy panoramic ocean viewpoints, photograph the dramatic coastline, and sample fresh lobster at local food stalls. Access from the main parking area requires a jeep shuttle over a rocky unpaved track.
