parangtritis beach u cant do anything there, might disappoint u althou its near from jogja
but dieng defintly is a must if u have extra 1-2 night
3-4 hours is worth the visit.

coz for me i not focus on the beach activities, more into the quality of the beach itself-parangtritis maybe just 3 out of 10 in term of sand, cleanliness, beauty , atmosphere, weather, wave (the wave too dangerous directly facing ocean)
dieng has the cooling weather like cameroon, at least 3-5 nice spots to see. side by side near to each other (pretty walkable/ bike-able ;p ) and morning sunrise to nearby mountain. atmosphere there is exotic i would say.

well, its actually comparing apple and orange tou..but if i have that extra 1 night, i will go dieng instead...
