Parangtritis Beach

The beach was about an hour’s drive south. The beach consists of black volcanic stones.

No swimming here as it is a very dangerous area of ocean and if you were to wear green beware!

Meg, Tahnee and Maeve - Nyi roro kidul was a princess who lived on a beach, who loved the colour green. She loved the colour green so much that when she died whoever wears green at the beach where she lived, would be taken by Nyi roro kidul. It is believed that she had a beautiful kingdom underwater. Nyi roro kidul was a very ugly princess and she wanted to be beautiful, so she decides to visit the South beach to see a spirit to make her beautiful. She kept the spirit and the beach. People give offerings to the princess and hold ceremonies at the beach for her.

There was a group from an Islamic school there who were fascinated by the girls and wanted a picture.
