Ngobaran beach is a beach that has long history because this beach has relation with the ending history of Majapahit Kingdom and the beginning of Islam kingdom on Nusantara. The name of ngobaran was from the word “Kobaran “ (blaze) that means on fire
On the top of cliff around the beach there is a box stone in front of Joglo surrounded by grey wood gate. Reputedly, this stone is a place where King Brawijaya V burned himself.
Based on the history, King Brawijaya V is the last ancestry of Majapahit Kingdom. The king escaped from the palace with his wifes named Bondang Surati (the first wife) and Dewi Lowati (the second wife). They didn’t want to be a moslem by his son Raden Patah, the first king of Demak.
Their escaped finally arrived at Ngobaran becah Gunung Kidul and they couldnot go everwhere. Finally the king decided to burn himself. Before he did that, he asked to his wifes both of them who was their love was bigger. Dewi Lowati answered that her love was as big as the mountain while Bondan Surati answered that her love was like black nail. If the nail was cut so it would be growth again. So her love was like that will be growth again if this love was disappear.
After he heard the answered both of them, The king pulled Dewi Lowati’s hand then they jumped in the fire. Both of them burnt.
Based on the incident, this place named Ngobaran came from the word kobong that means on fire or burnt themselves.
The truth of this story is still doubtful, because based on the information of some people there who their parents or their ancestor know about the story told that who splashed on fire is not Kig Brawijaya V, but it was his dog. This opinion can be proof by finding the trace of bone the rest of the blaze was dog’s bone not human’s bone. King Brawijaya V was Mukso.
