Pantai Sundak

Beach Sundak

The beach is located in the village Sundak Sidoharjo, sub Tepus, Gunungkidul district, Yogyakarta. Sundak Beach is located in the constellation that line the south coast of Java island, you could say this Sundak beach is one of natural beach, not too much to get the touch of human hands. Shades of peace, the white sands and exotic scenery is an attraction of this beach. Seemed taken away trip paid off with a beauty that is displayed.
Sundak beach is relatively quiet, even when I visited at the turn of years ago the mood in this beach not too crowded, really fun seemed to have a private beach. Seen north of the hill and limestone rock about 12 feet in length. Stroll along the beach is a mandatory thing I do when visiting the beach, even along the shoreline I can find sea urchins and starfish are also among the rocks. Air blowing breeze and the number of trees increased the wonderful atmosphere, really soothing. Sundak Beach also offers a pleasant atmosphere of the night. I could enjoy the evening breeze and the moon while becengkrama with my friends. Another visitor is the ordering of raw fish to be grilled. When the eve of the most meyenangkan is when I sleep on the beach while meyaksikan stars in the sky, it's how great the glory of God, enjoying the atmosphere of the night while reflection. Darkness does not need to fuss, is not boring if life continues bright?
Behind the beach beauty store Sundak interesting story, the name of this beach has several times changed and the evidence can be traced geologically. On the western edge of the beach there were a mosque and a blank space that is now used as a parking lot. While in the east there are caves that are formed from coral rock approximately 12 feet altitude. Entering the cave, will be found natural wells where people get fresh water. Described this region before the year 1930 remained under sea. It is said that water to a region that is now built mosque, which form the rock caves were still under water. As the geological processes on the southern coast, the sea surface to shrink and the water is indented into the sea. The coral reef and the area around the mosque became the new land which people used the beach for economic activity to date.
There is a unique natural phenomenon of the activity that eventually became the starting point of naming this beach. If the rainy season arrives, many of the inland water flowing toward the ocean. As a result, the plain on the east coast divide to form a shape like a river. Water that flows like mbedah (splitting) of sand. When drought comes, parts of it disappear and come along with sea water carrying sand. Natural phenomenon is what causes the name of the beach into Wedibedah (sand split).
The name change took place some decades later. Around the year 1976, there is an interesting event. One afternoon, a dog was running around in coastal areas and entered the cave coral met a sea urchin. Because the hungry, the dog tried to eat the sea urchin escape but the sea urchin. There was a fight that ultimately won the dog managed to eat half of the body with sea urchin and out of the cave with pride. The act known to the owner of the dog, named Arjasangku, saw half of the sea urchin's body in a dog's mouth. Checking into the cave, it turns out the owner found the body of sea urchin and a half remaining. Well, since then, the name changed to Sundak Wedibedah, abbreviation of asu (dog) and porcupine.

Not disangaka fight was a blessing for locals. After decades of water shortages, residents finally found a spring. Initially, the wonder dog owner that his dog out of the cave with dripping wet. The hypothesis, in the cave there is water and the dog had drowned while chasing porcupines. After some investigations, the prediction turned true. Be present, the water in a cave used for the purpose of life. From inside the cave, now installed pipes for connecting with people. The findings of this spring treat disappointment because of the well established residents were inundated by sea water.

if conditions in 1930 just as was said above, can be estimated conditions for hundreds of years earlier. Of course very many organisms that utilize the bottom of the reef which is now a cave and the area that is now the mainland. Therefore, many archeologists believe that as a consequence of geological processes that exist, many marine organisms are left behind and piled up as fossils. What fossils are found, indeed up to now has not been much research reveals.
