Kukup Beach

Pantai Kukup extends along the southern coast of Java with fine white sand beaches bordered by limestone cliffs and clear waters of the Indian Ocean.

The coastline of Gunung Kidul remained largely uninhabited due to harsh conditions and limited water sources until the development of tourism infrastructure in recent decades.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at Pantai Kukup, combining their daily work with small-scale seafood restaurants that serve fresh catches to visitors.

Access to the beach requires checking tide schedules, as low tide allows exploration of rock formations while high tide limits movement around the coastal features.

During low tide, visitors can walk to small offshore islands through natural pathways that emerge from the receding waters of the Indian Ocean.
