South Bali Beaches -- Padang Padang
When we saw Padang Padang beach for the first time, all that we could say was: “wow!!” From the road we could see the beautiful bay with white sand and for kilometers on end there was just the magnificent clear green-blue emerald colored water.
Do I need to say more..?
To get to this part of the south Bali beaches, drive towards Uluwatu and turn right at Pecatu. Follow the road until it splits at a junction, then turn left. You will definitely see signs to the beach from here.
There is parking space just across the road from the beach.
Once you have passed the small temple you need to go down some stairs, where it can be very narrow. Watch your head when you enter the ‘cave’. At the end of the cave you'll be standing upright in the soft white sand.
We were there in the afternoon and at that time there was hardly any waves. We are not sure what the best time is to catch some waves but we saw many surfers on the beach waiting for them.
Not surprisingly, because this beach is known to be one of the best surf spots in the world.
The beach is also very popular for sunbathers and swimmers. You can spend the whole day lazing at Padang Padang. There are enough warungs (Indonesian food stalls) where you can have lunch or grab a snack.
A beautiful place to spend the day at the beach...
A lot of people found shade under the foundation of an unfinished building, but in the back of the beach the high cliffs provide an abundance of shade. Definitely one of those south Bali beaches we want to come back to...
I can go on and on about how amazing this beach is. But I am sure that the pictures say enough...
