Destination Story & Highlights
Where Wooden Boats Rest at Water's Edge
Pantai Gesing is a charming narrow cove where traditional wooden fishing boats rest along the white sand shore. A modern glass-floor viewing platform perched on the cliffs above offers a heart-pounding perspective of the crashing waves below.
"The glass viewing deck at Pantai Gesing was built in 2018 and quickly became one of Gunungkidul's most viral attractions. Perched high above the cove, it gives visitors the thrilling sensation of standing directly over the roaring Indian Ocean waves."
