About this audio guide
Atuh Beach's guide starts with its name, Balinese for never dry, and the freshwater spring hidden in this limestone cove that keeps flowing even surrounded by salt water. It follows the temple villagers built beside that spring, and Batu Melawang, the sea rock pierced by a hole and farmed with a tiny hidden garden on top. Look for the offerings locals still leave where the fresh water meets the sea.
