Parangtritis Spot Guide

About Parangtritis

Located just outside of Kretek in Central Java, Parangtritis is a beach break set up with numerous peaks that pick up consistent swell all year. Fun but not mind-blowing, this is a great option for beginners or surfers looking for some sand-bottom alternatives to Indonesia's multitude of reef breaks.
