Pantai Prigi

Pantai Prigi is a well-known beach in Watulimo District, Trenggalek Regency, East Java, located about 48 km south of Trenggalek town on the southern coast of Java. It is notable as a fishing beach with an active fishing port and fish auction (TPI Prigi), a curved bay of light-colored sand backed by green hills, and as one of the main coastal tourism destinations in Trenggalek alongside nearby Pasir Putih Beach.

Visitors can expect a wide curved sandy bay facing the Indian Ocean, lined with fishing boats and a busy fish landing and auction area on the eastern side. The beach is backed by forested hills and offers views of the bay, traditional fishing activity, seafood stalls, and areas for walking along the shore. Facilities are concentrated near the entrance and port area, with open beach areas for sightseeing and photography.

Pantai Prigi has long served as a traditional fishing base on the south coast of Java and developed into one of the main fishing ports in East Java with the establishment of Pelabuhan Perikanan Nusantara (PPN) Prigi and its fish auction facility, supporting the local fishing economy of Watulimo.

The beach is associated with the annual Larung Sembonyo (Labuh Sembonyo) tradition, a sea-offering ceremony performed by local fishing communities to express gratitude for marine harvests and pray for safety at sea, featuring offerings floated into the bay.
