Ngadirojo – Eastern Pacitan's Coastal and Karst Border District
Ngadirojo is a district in the eastern part of the Pacitan Regency, near the border with the Trenggalek Regency – creating the eastern coastal approach to the Pacitan regency and the transition from Pacitan's limestone karst terrain to the volcanic-influenced landscape of Trenggalek. The eastern Pacitan coast has a mix of rocky coastal terrain and small beach pocket formations in the karst system, with the Indian Ocean's powerful southern swell creating the dramatic coastal experience characteristic of the southern East Java shoreline. The Trenggalek border creates cross-regency accessibility to the wider southern coastal East Java zone – Trenggalek has its own beautiful beaches and the Prigi port which is the most significant fishing harbor on the southern East Java coast. The inland terrain of eastern Pacitan is dominated by the rugged limestone karst hills that create the cave systems and dramatic landscape of the Pacitan interior. Agricultural activity in the mixed karst and coastal zone combines cassava, rice in valley terraces, coconut, and fishing as the primary livelihood bases. The Pacitan regency's national identity as the "Kota 1001 Goa" cave destination and the birthplace of former President SBY positions it as a nationally recognized heritage and nature tourism destination. Goa Gong cave in the western Punung district represents the best of the cave heritage. The Indian Ocean coastline's extraordinary scenic beauty continues along the eastern coast toward Trenggalek.
