At Siung, rocky formations frame the beach and shape the story behind its name. The DIY Tourism Office links Siung to Siung Wanara, meaning a monkey’s tooth, through the appearance of the cliffs from a distance. White sand and rock formations draw the eye between the shoreline and the rising stone. This beach in Purwodadi, Tepus also has a place in Yogyakarta’s climbing history, though appreciating the landscape need not mean following a climbing route. The cover photograph shows Watu Togog on the eastern side: one coastal detail that invites a closer look at the relationship between rock and sea.

Head to Pantai Siung in Duwet hamlet, Purwodadi, Tepus, Gunungkidul Regency. The pin follows the Google Maps beach marker rather than camera coordinates or an entrance surveyed by Floopel. Confirm visiting hours, admission and permitted routes with the operator. Follow local barriers and instructions, keeping away from waves and rock edges.
