Pandawa Beach

This guide to Pandawa Beach starts with six giant stone figures carved into the cliff at its entrance, the five exiled Pandawa brothers and their mother from the Mahabharata, and traces how this cove went from a hidden fishing and seaweed-farming spot known only as Kutuh Beach to the place named for them. You'll hear about the goat path that once was the only way down the cliff, and about the road cut through the limestone around 2012 that changed everything. Listen for how the old life of the cove, seaweed farming at low tide, still continues in plain sight.
