Pantai Popoh

Pantai Popoh is a well-known beach in Besole Village, Besuki District, Tulungagung Regency, East Java, Indonesia, located on the southern coast facing the Indian Ocean. Sheltered by green hills in a crescent-shaped bay, it is notable as a fishing beach with an active fish landing port and auction. The beach combines sandy shoreline, fishing boats, seafood stalls, and hill viewpoints, serving as one of Tulungagung's main coastal tourism destinations.

Visitors can expect a curved sandy bay enclosed by forested hills on the south coast of Tulungagung. The shoreline features fishing boats anchored near the fish landing port, a fish auction area, and seafood stalls along the beach. Areas to explore include the main beach, the harbor, hill viewpoints overlooking the bay, and nearby food and souvenir areas. The environment is active with fishing activity during the day and calmer for sightseeing and photography.

Pantai Popoh developed as a fishing settlement and coastal port for the Besuki area, later developed by the Tulungagung Regency government as a managed coastal tourism destination with port facilities to support local fishermen.

The beach is central to the local fishing community's livelihood and hosts traditional fishing-related activities and seafood culinary culture. The area reflects coastal Javanese fishing traditions and community use of the fish landing and auction facilities.
