Surfers paradise at the South Bali Beaches

South Bali Beaches -- Green Ball

Green ball beach is not really a beach, but an excellent place to go surfing or just be amazed by its beauty.
This beach is the most southern beach of all the south Bali beaches. It is pretty easy to find, just take the road to Uluwatu and follow the signs to the Bali Cliff Resort at the Ungasan junction.
Then turn left just before you enter the resort gates. Just keep on going till you end up at the Pura Mas Suka temple where there are enough parking spaces.

You have to put some effort to be rewarded with something beautiful

The place was deserted, except for a couple of women who try to sell sarongs and offer you massages. We politely declined when one woman started showing us her massage techniques. At the end she stopped and she said that we would probably want one when we returned from the beach...
And after visiting Green Ball beach, I can understand why she thought that might happen...
Like most of the south Bali beaches, Green ball is located in a bay. To get there you have to descend steep stairs. We met a couple who were on their way up. They were panting and sweating heavily...so by then we knew what awaited us.
Nonetheless the whole effort is worth it. Once down, it is just a terrific sight to see wonderful blue ocean colours and waves crashing into the cliffs.
If you want to go surfing, you need to paddle for a while because the waves start to swell pretty far from the shore.

There is no beach to lie on so if you are not surfing, you can sit comfortably on the cement wall at the end of the stairs.
Once you have finally climbed up the stairs, buy a cold drink and sit down to watch, for one more time, the stunning view...or to get a massage from the lady who will probably be waiting for you again.
