Beach conditions
The gray-sized gray sand is sourced from the rock. The sweep of large waves that hit the wall of the hills produced enough energy to erode, transport and re-settle the rock grains. The high degree of weathering in this region accelerates the abrasion process. Karangbolong Beach has the potential to form a strong backflow, so it is a dangerous area for swimming. In this coastal area there is also Karangbolong Cave, located on the east side. A long corridor is formed on the brittle lava layer. Karangbolong Cave measuring 30 meters long, 10 meters wide and about 5 meters high. The breccia, known as this gabon formation ofoligo-miocene or about 30 to 15 million years ago, is exposed together with sandstone inserts and clay. [2]
Rocks in the Karang Bolong Beach |
The formation of the Karangbolong Cave is influenced by the collapse occurring along the boundary between the breccia and the pasri stone or the clay stone. The collapse hole will be even greater because the rock layers that hang on the roof of the hole always collapse due to the weight. The process is also triggered by the existing knackers, whose presence weakens the bonding power of the various components of the rock.The process of forming the cave is well-observed at the eastern and southern ends of Goa Karangbolong, where on a small scale rocks occur along different layer boundaries. Because it is not a limestone cave, then in Goa Karangbolong not found ornaments. [3]
The waters of Karangbolong Beach are very pampering visitors who want to channel the hobby of fishing, because the area is very abundant fish. In addition to Karangbolong Beach, Kebumen District still has other beach attractions such as Pantai Ayah, Petanahan Beach, Beach Leak, and Suwuk Beach. [4]
