Kukup beach, which its white sandy beach, marvelous scenery and fresh sea breeze, is mostly crowded with visitors on holidays. There you can walk along the beach on bare feet and let the sea water hits your skin while hearing the roar of the waves.
There is also a beach barrier, which is higher than the beach, to separate the parking lot and the beach, and on high tide if you don't want to get wet you can sit on the beach barrier under shady sea pandanus trees while gazing to the beach watching the naughty waves chase after another until finally collide that generate harmonic sounds.
There is a rock isle, with a gazebo as a viewing post, near the beach. It is very unique and it reminds us to the famous Tanah Lot in Bali. You can get there by following the walk way, cross a bridge, and your sacrifice will be paid off with a beautiful view.
