Located along the west coast of Java, this quiet getaway has one of the most unique attractions in Indonesia yet its still relatively unknown.

And its more than worth the trek to get a glimpse at this under-the-radar natural wonder.

2. Ngariboyo Beach

Located in the Magetan Recency, this coastal area boasts some enjoyable excursions for adventurous tourists. With gorgeous natural land formations and pristine water, Ngariboyo Beach is a must-see, even though many East Java visitors dont even know it exists.

4. Tabuhan Cave

This hidden gem is often overshadowed by the more popular Gong Cave. But what really sets Tabuhan Cave apart is its collection of melodic stalactites and stalagmites, which emit a range of captivating sounds when struck. If beaches arent your style, or youre in the mood for something a little more out-of-the-ordinary, Tabuhan Cave may be just what youre looking for.

5. Grojogan Sewu

Dont confuse this fascinating landscape with the Grojogan Sewu in Tawangmangu, Karanganyar, Central Java. Though they share a name, the waterfall in East Java isnt as well known or often visited, but its every bit as spectacular. Grojogan Sewu features a seemingly larger-than-life cascading waterfall surrounded by lush wildlife and gorgeous flowing water. And like the rest of East Javas frequently overlooked attractions, its well worth the visit.
