Kukup Beach, located in Kemadang Village, Tanjungsari, Gunungkidul, is renowned for its white sand and shallow sea. It features a small coral island that divides the beach into calmer eastern and choppier western sections. The shallow waters, protected by coral reefs, are rich in marine life like starfish and colorful fish. During low tide, small puddles may form where ornamental fish can be seen.
