As one tourist destination in Wonogiri, management is arguably less than
optimal. From 1992 until early 2011 there was no change to improve. For
example, the access road to the beach very minim, the beach is located on the
far end of the road. There is no public transport whatsoever, can only be
traversed by a private vehicle. The number of road potholes, narrow, winding
and up and down.
But luckily it's way to the end of the beach really is a natural form of small
forests, fields, valleys, rocks and little settlements that made the trip did
not feel uninterested. Around of coast has been equipped with a means of
worship such as mosques, paseban and studio. Also had no toilet, parking and
although still a little shop. Trash is still rarely seen.
Sembukan beach is smaller than the neighboring beach Nampu, that's what makes
the beach Sembukan was rarely visited by tourists. Many tourists who do not
know Sembukan coast, they know Nampu coast that are larger and finer sand
beaches. But that doesn’t make some tourists prefer the resorts that are still
unexplored.
There is no place where we can see the beauty of this world by looking at the
ranks of the island with the sea as its outer boundary. There are birds flying.
Sembukan beach is not too big but it has its own charm and has a fairly large
waves hit the cliff wall. What more if the waves were very big, very High
temperatures.
Sembukan beach in rocky coves, but the beach Sembukan not intended for
swimming. For those who like fishing, the area around the beach is known as a
strategic place for fishing while enjoying the sea and mountains, there are
many types of fish can be found on the beach.
So while you are still awake the natural Sembukan Coast, let's keep this
resort. Do not start with the bad things. Do it by not littering in advance.
