Understandably, many challenges must be conquered, from the hill, sometimes accompanied by a sharp bend to the derivative of the heat that hit the skin when the road is surrounded by limestone hills and fields of crops. Everything is blocked since the Pathuk (first district in Gunungkidul encountered) to the beach.
As if there was no option to run from the challenge. The Gaza City - Gaza Wonosari continued to Wonosari - Baron - Tepus is the most accessible path, the path has been paved smooth and perfect.

Until now, this rock can enjoy the beauty, combined with large waves that sometimes reaches it, until the cracks laced by slowly flowing sea water, presents a dramatic sight.

According to the story Wastoyo, the cloves at the time the trustee becomes a center of trade in the region of South Mountain. Not far from the beach, in Winangun area, there is a market. In this place also, silence and Nyai Nyai We Podi, wife of the courtiers of Yogyakarta and Surakarta.
Most of the residents Siung then worked as a farmer salt. They rely on sea water and salts of wealth as a source of livelihood. The salt produced by the citizens of this Siung who was a major commodity in the market Winangun. Although rich in various kinds of fish, not many people dare to go to sea at the time. Generally, they only catch fish on the banks.
The situation gradually deserted when Winangun market, according to the narrative Wastoyo, trafficked to Jogjakarta. The market is said to have moved from Winangun in Yogyakarta named Jowinangun, stands outside the Jobo Winangun Winganun region. Local residents have lost their livelihoods and not many people who come to this area. No telling what local people to survive.

The stage-house currency more freely enjoy the exotic beaches. Simply by talking to local residents, perhaps accompanied by some amount of money it can be used for overnight.
When the night or when there are visitors, long-tailed monkeys would come down from the cliff to the beach. Long-tailed macaques are now increasingly rare on the coast there's also this. The existence of long-tailed macaques may also be one reason why the rock on which the naming of teeth fitted shape with a monkey, not the other animal species.
