to take the road south-west of Surabaya, drive through Mojokerto, Jombang, Kediri and Tulungagung down to. Continue on about 20 kilometers west towards Trenggalek, and in the small post office of Durenan, south. Here the traffic subsides on the roads and improve the landscape. As you squirm your way down from Durenan through the villages of Bandung and Watulimo, the views of the mesmerizing flatness of fluorescent green rice fields on the insensitivity of limestone hills change riddled with caves. En route in Watuagung you from stop and explore the Goa Lowo caves that offer a more mystical experience of earthly lowlands.
The drive is steeper than your car rises higher and higher on the edge of the mountains, hidden among the steep descent to the sea. Although the surface of the roads could be better, the panorama of the view is breathtaking; large sweeps of steep, squirm farmland getting down towards the sea.
Finally, we come down to sea level and reach the small town Prigi, engaged in a peaceful manner with its fishing port and the hordes painted by bright perahu (wooden boats) moored alongside. Here you are in a quiet, sheltered bay facing outward to the wilder Indian Ocean. Prigi town beach known as Pantai Prigi, a huge crescent of sand by rows of coconut trees is framed. It is also a center for the cottage industry of dried fish processing, and can see as far as the eye, bamboo Tikar (mats) laid out along the bank on which neatly arranged rows of anchovies dry the sun. The smell is rich and intoxicating. The view, however, is gorgeous. The simple beach restaurants offering a good selection of fish. Mackerel, tuna, snapper, barracuda, sea bass and pomfret, just pulled out of the sea at prices that will make your mouth water
Smoked mackerel
There are property Prigi city, but better, scenic location is found about five kilometers around the southwest of the peninsula; the pretty little road through the colorful local market to the left and by a State teak forest, past the Pasir Putih Beach, popular with day trippers from Trenggalek and Tulungagung, and on to the small hamlet Karanggongso. Cut here almost Prigi through the forest, the locals have a life different from the city, and it seems that all the men of their early teens lucrative work can be found here fishing.
Karanggongso beach scattered with boat craft, ranging from small canoes from a single tree trunk carved, decorated on the larger, right perahu in their splendid livery of primary colors. The beach is safe for swimming and the several small rock outcrops in the bay Add interest in the scene. At sunset the shimmering water reminds speckled with boats of Venice and its gondolas. Series built of colorful bamboo houses in the traditional style give the place a timeless quality, and the people seem very relaxed and far away from the pace of the city.
Pondok Prigi Cottages, available in two locations along the length of Karanggongso Beach, a number of attractive accommodation for every budget. No. I have to hire the added attraction of a restaurant, air conditioning and speedboats while number II remote and rustic. Warungs be found at Karanggongso beach (make sure the smoked mackerel to try to be skewered on sticks and smoked while you wait), and a greater variety of food is along the length of the main beach the city available, Pantai Prigi.
. For the more energetic, a 20-minute walk from Pondok Prigi II on the Karanggongso beach towards the heads, on outcrops of fallen rocks and occasionally from the sand along a country lane leads you to the most beautiful cove With his bleached white sand and overhanging trees, a welcome relief from the relentless sun provides -. And this is an excellent place for a bath or a secluded picnic
A very fine beach with safe swimming Pantai Damas, across the Bay of Karanggongso beach and easily accessible by car to reach at least 20 minutes in. It is as remote from domestic tourists, so you have it yourself. The road leading to it guides you through carpets of green paddy fields and over a steep slope and offers a great view as you descend to the bay.
If you ever doubted Beauty East Java, is here. Place of perfect peace in the scenic landscape the most jaded souls
