Ngrenehan Beach
Hidden Fisherman Beach in Gunungkidul
Want to eat fresh grilled fish at prices that will shock you (how cheap)? Ngrenehan Beach is the place. This is a real fishing beach — boats still dock on the sand, and local women cook their husbands' catch right at simple beachfront stalls. Large grilled fish for only IDR 15,000-25,000. Seriously.
This beach is still very pristine and not yet overrun with tourists. If you are looking for a beach that feels "untouched by Instagram," Ngrenehan is the answer.
