Ngobaran Beach is located in Kanigoro Village, Saptosari District, Gunungkidul Regency, Yogyakarta. The name Ngobaran comes from the word inflammatory, which means burning. The place is related to the final history of The Majapahit kingdom's existence and the Islamic kingdom era in Indonesia. On this coast, King Brawijaya V, the leader of the Majapahit kingdom, did moksa. The king performed a self-burning ceremony that caused a great fire. This was done because the king did not want to fight with his own son who is Raden Patah (the first king of Demak kingdom which is The Islamic kingdom).
For me, Ngobaran beach is quite an exotic place, because it has beautiful scenery and a thick historical story at the same time. Entering the beach area visitors will be greeted with a gate that contains a group of statues, such as Ganesha, Shiva, Brahma, etc. At the end of the gate, there is a statue of Lord Vishnu riding the Garuda overlooking the sea. I came to this beach at about 11:00 am. Its water was receding at that time so I could see algae growing on the sidelines of the reef. There were also some locals who are looking for fish with simple fishing rods.
