An absolute highlight is Trisik Beach, which serves as an important nesting area for sea turtles and attracts visitors through its conservation projects. Kwaru Beach and the nearby Pantai Baru are famous for their dense stands of 'Cemara Udang' (coastal pines), which not only provide shade but also create a mystical atmosphere and protect the sand from erosion. These beaches are also centers for innovative coastal agriculture, where windmills are used to generate energy. The strong waves of the Indian Ocean make swimming difficult but provide an impressive backdrop. Culinarilly, local food stalls attract with 'Ikan Bakar' (grilled fish). Banaran is easily accessible from Yogyakarta in about an hour, offering a peaceful alternative to the more well-known tourist beaches.
