Abstract
Watulimo is one of the sub-districts of Trenggalek Regency located on the southern coast of East Java Province. Watulimo sub-district has great tourism potential, especially for forest and beach tourism, but has not been properly managed. Forest and coastal attractions in the Watulimo sub-district include: Prigi beach, Pasir Putih beach, Damas beach, Karanggongso beach, Pancer Cengkrong Mangrove Forest, Lowo Cave, Rancang Cave, Grojok Cave, Banyunget Forest Tourism, Rangkambu Waterfall, and durian, rambutan, mangosteen plantation. The Watulimo su-bdistrict consists of mountains, terrain, and beaches, so most people rely on agriculture, plantation and fishery products.With many tourist attractions, both forest and beach tourism, if managed properly, will contribute revenue to the district government and the people around the resort, such as the tour guide profession, opening food stalls, parking, lodging, boat rentals and so forth.
