Typical nuance of coastal food stalls and fishing activities

except on certain days that are considered sacred, namely Tuesday and Friday
POND POND. Outside the fish that goes bad season between the months of June to
September, the number of catches is quite good.
Because of the number of catches is large enough, then local

parangtritis legend
Lots of sticking phenomena and mysteries of the story so far
Nyi Roro Kidul. From the mundane to the extraordinary always a concern
throughout the community who believe in the legend of the Queen of the South.
Nothing wrong if these phenomena are studied more deeply. Their knowledge of
course phenomena related to Nyai Roro Kidul will be answered scientifically.
But if you talk about the myth, of course, already entered
into the world of trust and can not be attributed to the scientific world. Here
nature of our minds start playing to accept or reject the opinions of people
who may not be in accordance with the scientific evidence that has been
obtained. One example of the myths that still are the pros and cons is a myth
Nyai Roro Kidul. If the story The Queen of the South is described in sufficient
detail, of course, requires a very long time to explain it. Even though no
matter how long, Roro Kidul Nyai story will not run out to tell. One by one
fact or event that is associated with Nyai Roro Kidul would present itself so
we are impossible to know all that concerns about Nyi Roro Kidul in detail and
complete.
With the many stories and paintings that raised the Queen of
the South Sea, making the name of Roro Kidul Nyai increasingly popular among
the people until now. Moreover, the place associated with Nyai Roro Kidul is
very warm discussion. Some argue as a liaison between Queen Spirit worlds with
the human world. There are only as a figure of the queen incarnation. Even the
fact that the longest outstanding is hiring "employees" to serve Nyi
Roro Kidul. Where is that place??? For those who wish to apply please come to
Parangtritis by wearing clothes / green shirt. Requirements are very easy right??
But we suggest you do not apply for a job there, because it is guaranteed you
will not return to the alive. Why is that? People assume that the person to
Parangtritis beach wear / green T-shirts would be a slave to the Nyai. The
proof is the discovery of the bodies that had many wearing green around the
coast and many families lost several members of her family pleaded with the
latter traits wearing a green shirt. If you want to prove yourself please try
to location.

It also was experienced by a visitor beach. According to the
people around these visitors may not know the history of the green shirt on the
beach Parangtritis. After not long in Parangtritis beach, there is one family
looking for missing family members with the assistance of the coast guard
there. Unfortunately, in half a day they did not find that the person they are
looking for. After a few days, there was the discovery of the bodies reportedly
wearing green shirt seashores. The corpse was finally identified one of the
family members who lost yesterday.
In addition to these myths, the scientific world turned out
to prove the presence of iron sands which are located around the coast. This
sand is not textured tight and can withstand heavy loads on it (like mud). Sand
is also easily carried by water currents. If we dwell on the waterfront, it was
not long leg we will be drowned and buried in the sand that the waves brought
