DALEM JUMENENG TEMPLE
Still within the beachside of Segara Ayu, there is Pura Segara Ayu. Since there is no authentic history about this Pura, but the structure is very similar with Pura Dalem Jumeneng with layers of Gamping stones. Therefore the experts made an assumption that this Pura was built in Megaliticum age.
