Padang-Padang Beach is quite tiny by the standards of Bali: its length coastline- about 150 meters. Nature has created a secluded beach, it starts from a crevice in the rock and expands to the bay. However, the place is not at all secret, but very touristy and is never empty, even despite the paid entrance.
Vacationers on Padang-Padang Beach are pleasantly surprised by the presence of elementary service. Here you can rent an umbrella, sunbed, buy a soft drink and other joys of a beach holiday. And, of course, the view that opens up to the gaze of the tourist is unforgettable.
Foreigners who live in Bali like to come to Padang-Padang for the weekend with their families. The resort coast also attracts surfers, including beginners, as the waves are small. There are surf training centers in the beach area. At the same time, you can safely swim off the coast, such waves practically do not disturb vacationers. Like any other beach in Bali, you should not come here during the shallows. Basically, recreation is available almost all year round.
In reviews of Padang-Padang beach, tourists note crowdedness in the high season, paid entrance (10,000 IDR), availability of infrastructure (parking nearby for 1000 IDR, there is a toilet and spirit, rental sun loungers), the bottom is rocky in some places. best view the beach opens from above, and a separate tourist attraction is a picturesque descent to it along the steps.
Hotels near Padang Padang Beach
A few meters from the beach is enough resort hotels, villas and inexpensive rooms in guest houses. Of course, all the proposed housing is not located on the first line (such is the specificity of the beach), but in the immediate vicinity of the paid entrance and the trail.
How to get to Padang Padang Beach
It is worth considering that although the small peninsula is compact, moving from one point to another is very inconvenient and almost impossible on foot.
You can't get to Padang Padang Beach by bus. There are options such as renting a motorbike (the most popular transport in Bali), renting a car, finding a taxi or ordering a transfer. The beach is visible even from the road passing from above, the place is difficult to pass. Approximate coordinates: -8.811187, 115.103653. Transport will have to be parked at the top of the road, where there is a small parking area with a sign.
It will take at least half an hour by car to get from Kuta or Seminyak from the resort coast of Padang-Padang.

We did not plunge into deep meditation in Ubud and did not drown in the ocean while surfing, but simply arranged a motor trip to the neighboring islands - Lombok, Gili Air and Trawangan, in search of endless white sandy beaches and picturesque seascapes (and found them).
All coordinates are beautiful and interesting places, and useful tips we will share very soon, and now, before a trip to Java, we returned to Ubud for a while and continue to talk about Bali - in this article we debunk the myths about local beaches.
Many tourists imagine the island of Bali as a kind of absolutely fabulous place with paradise beaches, azure sea and lonely bungalows, standing right on the shore, and this image of Bali is actively supported by travel companies.
Arriving in Bali with such expectations, and not seeing the scenery from a postcard, some are disappointed and talk about what a boring / noisy / dirty place it is (depending on where they settled).
In fact, Bali is a stunning island, if you don't have any illusions about paradise beaches.
Initially, before coming to Bali, we planned to settle somewhere closer to the sea, and studied this question - where the best place for life. good review we could not find all the beaches, so we collected information bit by bit from individual reviews for each place.
As a result, having lived here for more than 5 months, we visited most of the beaches and came to the following conclusion. If you do not consider this issue from the point of view of surfing, then good beaches there are not so many in Bali and they can be conditionally divided into several categories:
nice beach but big waves;
nice beach, but shallow;
good sea, but mediocre beach;
good sea and beach, but crowded;
good sea and beach, not crowded, but not very convenient location.
Main beaches in Bali
Boo Peninsulawhale: Uluwatu, Padang Padang, Balangan, Dreamland, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa
southwest coast: Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Canggu
southeast coast: Sanur, Padang Bai
East Coast: White sand beach, Amed, Bunutan, Tulamben
north coast: Lovina
Uluwatu (Blue point beach)
This small beach is hidden between the rocks, and at high tide it is completely flooded with water. Because of the big waves, it is popular mainly among advanced surfers, for whom the infrastructure is well developed here - there are many shops where you can buy or rent everything you need for surfing - from boards to special clothes
And those whose plans do not include getting up for surfing and catching waves can admire the views from the cliff
Padang Padang beach
The beach is quite small and cozy, besides it is located next to the road, so it is very popular among tourists, so in the high season it is quite crowded and this is its main drawback.
A few years ago, this beach was considered "secret" and mostly only locals knew about it, but after the movie "Eat, Pray, Love", which was partly filmed here, its popularity has grown dramatically. You can rent umbrellas on the beach, but there are no sunbeds here.
Dreamland beach
The beach is located in the village of Dreamland. This is another small and incredibly beautiful beach with white sand and turquoise sea, which, however, is rarely calm.
And it is for the big waves that surfers love this place.
You can come here if you want to surf or spend time on the beach and sunbathe, but it’s not always possible to get into the water
Balangan beach
The beach is quite long and wide but throughout its length the coast is covered with volcanic rock
which looks beautiful, but does not allow you to enter the water without shoes
Despite the fact that there are several hotels nearby and there are many sunbeds on the shore, you can’t swim here. Only surfers enter the water in order to swim away from the coast in pursuit of a good wave. A long, winding road leads to the beach. scenic road on which it is pleasant to ride a bike. Weddings are often organized on this beach and on the cliff next to it - we have seen photos from several photo shoots against the backdrop of familiar landscapes
Jimbaran beach
The beach is also famous for its fish market And fish restaurants, which in the evening, at low tide, set up tables on the sand and offer visitors fresh seafood, for almost every taste.
Nusa Dua
In addition, most of the beaches are located near the territories of the hotels, so far from everywhere you can safely settle down without the risk of meeting with a polite but persistent security guard.
A big drawback of the resorts of the Bukit peninsula is the transport problem. It is separated from the main part of the island by a thin bridge with a single, two-lane highway, on which traffic jams are a permanent phenomenon. Accordingly, if you plan to actively move around the island and at the same time live in Bukit, then you can safely cross out at least 2 hours daily from your vacation.
Tanjung Benoa (Tanjungbenoa)
Tanjung Benoa is a spit, less than a kilometer wide, which used to be a fishing village, and is now being actively built up with hotels. The most north point Kosa is a center of water activities for every taste, which offers everything from snorkeling to "underwater scooter".
Kuta
This is perhaps the most popular tourist destination in Bali. Kuta is surfing, bars, clubs and night life. There is relatively inexpensive housing here, and mostly young people come here to surf during the day and have fun at night. full program. The beaches here are reminiscent of Sochi at the height of the season, in the water you can get hit on the head with a board from a novice surfer, and traffic jams do not stop even at night. To be honest, it's hard for us to understand people coming to Bali and staying in Kuta :)
Legian
Seminyak
Canggu
In this area, you can find fairly affordable housing, despite the fact that there are much fewer tourists on Canggu Beach than in Kuta. The beach is decent enough
but the problem with the sea is still the same - to swim you need to catch the time when there are no waves.
Sanur
The bulk of vacationers here are aged Europeans, and Russian speech can be heard less often than in other places. Mostly expensive hotels are located on the coast, and more budget accommodation can be found in the village, on the other side of the highway. The beaches here are long and wide, the sea is quite calm, but shallow near the coast, and to get to the depth, you need to walk knee-deep in water for more than a dozen meters.
Padang Bay
In Padang Bai there is a port from which you can sail to the islands closest to Bali - Lombok, Gili, Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembogan. But not everyone knows that next to the village there is a wonderful beach, hidden from prying eyes, it is called "Secret beach".
In order to get on it, you need to turn right right in front of the port and follow the path to the very end. It ends at the top of the hill - you can’t drive further and it is in this place that the bikes are parked. Further along the path you need to go down to the beach. A beach lost among the cliffs, very cozy, neat, clean, with white sand
white sand beach
The beach is very good - wide and not crowded with good and, most of the time, calm seas.
In the sea there are corals and rare tropical fish swim. There are a dozen cafes on the beach where you can refresh yourself - they provide sunbeds to their customers at no extra charge. There is no housing in the immediate vicinity of the beach, but for a beach holiday this is the best.
Amed
Amed is the name of a village and a whole region in east coast
In order to snorkel, you do not need to sail anywhere on a boat, you can dive near the shore
The beaches are mostly stone or with coarse volcanic sand, and there are many fishing boats on the shore
On this coast we managed to find one, absolutely great place. It is located south of Amed, in the village of Bunutan, the beach is called Pondok Vienna Beach.
In one part of the beach, as elsewhere in Amed, there are fishing boats during the day.
And at the very end of the beach there is a small hotel. Housing there is not cheap (from 500 thousand rupees per day), but the beach next to the hotel is excellent - a mixture of white and black sand, a good entrance to the water
Nearby there are more budget hotels with excellent sea views, and for longer stays, small houses with a kitchen, also located within walking distance, are suitable - we lived in this place for almost a month and were very satisfied.
In addition to the excellent sea, Amed and its surroundings have absolutely amazing nature - mountain slopes overgrown with greenery and views of volcanoes
In our opinion, Bunutan is the best place in Bali for a long beach holiday.
Tulamben beach
But next to this beach there is one local attraction, because of which we singled out this beach separately - the sunken ship Liberty. It lies literally 30 meters from the shore and is a favorite object of research for beginner divers.
Even if you do not plan to dive with scuba gear, then you can stare at it just with a mask - the top of the ship, overgrown with algae, shells and corals, is literally a couple of meters from the surface of the water
Closest to Ubud beautiful beaches located in the southeast, in Padang Bai (Padang Bai) - this is Blue Lagoon(Blue Lagoon) and the beach Bias Tugal(aka secret beach, Secret Beach), and Cusamba beach with black volcanic sand (Kusamba Beach), I’ll tell you about them today 🙂
From Ubud, the time to go to them is the same as to (about 1 hour), but the main part of the road is much more pleasant - comfortable, smooth, wide and without traffic jams.
Undoubtedly, the most favorite place on the east coast, for both of us it is, but it takes 2 times longer to get there, so it’s better to get there by car and for several days at once. The summer before last, we lived in Amed for a whole month, this summer we also plan to stay there longer. The place is very picturesque, quiet and peaceful, on the one hand it helps to relax and put your thoughts in order, on the other hand, such a distance from civilization sets you up for work, nothing around distracts you 🙂
In Padang Bai there is a port from which you can sail to the neighboring islands - Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembogan, also to Lombok, and then to Gili 
It would seem that a port town, where to swim there? And indeed, it’s nice in the port itself, except perhaps to sit in a cafe on the shore, or in such a gazebo in the shade under the pines
and admire the boats
Although the most colorful - traditional narrow fishing boats with fins bask like tourists on the beach under palm trees))
I also really liked the view of the town from above.
There we saw an interesting temple or a house 🙂
Padang Bai is more like a village than a port city, there are no large supermarkets, there are only small shops and a local market is open in the morning. Although during the holidays (now the main annual is taking place on the island), even the streets of such a port town are changing, you can meet such Balinese beauties with offerings
However, for those who do not need entertainment, culture, and want to relax their souls, moving away from society, this place is the very thing))
Of course, with the exception of those who come here to dive, they just have a party here - in the town, and on the coast there are a lot of diving schools, this is where many tourists go who want to get diving training and get PADI certificates. They start from here. But even those who are not interested in the underwater world and do not plan to go scuba diving, but just want to soak up the beach, will also find heavenly places for themselves here.
The most beautiful beaches of Padang Bai are a little hidden, at the end of the article there is a map on which all three beaches are marked, and now I will tell you more about each
Secret beach, aka Bias Tugal beach is an absolute favorite!
Here you can find pure white sand and clear blue water. 
The beach is framed by rocks, and hidden from the road - from above, from the cliff, the harbor and rocks in the sea are slightly visible, but in fact the beach is below. If you don’t know, you can drive past, that’s why they call it “secret”) 
But it is worth going down the cliff a couple of meters down, and already behind the tops of the palms, you can see a snow-white beach 
The beauty of the beach can be appreciated already at the entrance to it - green palm trees against the backdrop of the turquoise sea, they are already visible from the road, these are the landscapes I liked to shoot most of all in the Philippines and Thailand 
There is no entrance to the beach itself, to the sand and the sea, parking for cars and bikes a little higher above it, perhaps this is one of the most picturesque parking lots in recent times 
the road goes on 
Since cars do not drive close, silence reigns on the beach, you can only hear the sound of the waves, and they come here quite often 
Although we prefer to swim in the ocean than splash and jump in the waves, in this place we splashed with pleasure 
And even spent some time on the beach - lately we usually only come to swim) 
We have been to this beach several times and always found ourselves on a rather calm sea, but friends said that sometimes there are such waves here that you simply cannot enter the water.
Undoubtedly, the beach is excellent, for all the time that we spent here, there were no more than 10 people in the water at the same time, and on the beach, including those who dined in a cafe, in total, 25 people at most 
And this despite the fact that we were on a day off, when local Indonesians from neighboring islands like these Muslim girls, most likely from Lombok 
On weekdays there are even fewer people here and mostly Europeans.
Despite the fact that the beach is better known as "secret" - Secret Beach, but on the map it is marked as Bias Tugal beach, and on the road to it, a White Sand Beach sign was recently hung, either to simply attract attention, whether to increase inflow from the popular neighbor of the same name.
The beach, like a lagoon, is framed on both sides by rocks. 
Such is the volcanic placer both on the left and on the right off the coast 
On the beach there are cafes with salads and hot food, as well as necks, fruits, green coconuts 
There is a toilet (paid 5 thousand rupees $ 0.5), a shop with beach accessories, a small canopy to hide from the sun, and perhaps everything .. 
There are no sunbeds here, like on the real White Sand Beach, which is beyond Chandidasa, maybe it’s for the best, perhaps their presence would only spoil the picture, otherwise it’s the purest snow-white beach 
There are also no hotels, the one on the cliff that can be seen from the beach has been under construction for several years and it is not known whether it will ever be completed 🙂 
The nearest hotels are in Padang Bai, and this is very close, if on foot, then 15 minutes, and if by bike, then 5-7 minutes.
You can see prices here.
Black Beach Kusamba (Black Sand Beach or Kusamba Beach)
Kusamba beach is located next to the Secret and only rocks separate it 
We did not meet a soul on this beach - it was shown to us by our new acquaintances 
According to them, the local people hang out here in the evenings, in particular, Balinese children frolic in the sand.
In the daytime, here: for all its long length, no one .. 
An exception, except perhaps the fishermen on the rocks 
Brave brave guys, because the waves are sometimes higher than themselves. That and look, someone will be washed away by a wave 
Wet from head to toe, but still fishing, perhaps it depends on the catch whether they dine today or not 
When we arrived here, the waves were strong, so we didn’t swim, but it was clear from the shore that the water was clean 
Black volcanic sand is very fine, as if selected, 
It's nice to wander barefoot on it, which Paul immediately took advantage of)) 
By analogy with White Sand Beach (white sand beach), the locals call this beach Black Sand Beach (black sand beach).
Of the significant disadvantages of the beach is the lack of shade. Of course, it’s not worth going here specially, but it’s quite possible to look in for half an hour after the Secret or Laguna.
Well, isn't it beauty? On the horizon - the island of Nusa Penida 
Seascape with waves crashing against the rocks 
with a deserted beach and a turquoise sea that goes beyond the horizon, 
and lonely ghost ships on the horizon, definitely deserves a couple of photos 
The sign for the beach entrance is a huge old police boat, 
next to it, the locals are repairing their fishing boats 
Blue Lagoon beach
The bay is indeed blue, or even green-turquoise, which fully justifies its name)) 
This beach is loved by snorkelers, the underwater world in this lagoon has something to brag about, you can dive both from the shore and from a boat 
Landscapes are quite picturesque, pieces of rocks in the foreground are clearly volcanic rock 
Only here in the afternoon on the beach there is mostly shade, sunbathers are better to come in the morning 
It has all the infrastructure - a cafe with sun loungers, a toilet, a shower, masks and fins for rent 
They actively and persistently offer massage, for me it is of very dubious quality, but on the other hand, if there is fatigue in the legs, then why not? 🙂 A half-hour foot massage is offered for 30,000 rupees ($3).
The beach is located in a small lagoon, but the waves, anyway, are frequent guests here, although not as big as on Secret beach 
The beach itself is 2 or even 3 times smaller than the Secret, in strong tides it is completely flooded, and at low tide, the edge of the beach is still quite narrow, which is why all the sunbeds here are higher, on concrete ledges next to cafes, 
Cafes here are located in 2 tiers, apparently they cook well, Europeans gobble up both cheeks)) 
This beach has paid parking (for cars 5 thousand rupees, for bikes 2 thousand), from it stone steps lead to the beach itself, 
from which it already opens beautiful view to the bay

conclusions
Summing up, I can say that a couple of days from a short vacation can be safely spent in these parts. It is clearly worth seeing all three beaches, going to the neighboring ones in Candidasa or sailing from the port to the nearby islands.
View hotels in Padang Bai here. You can also find interesting accommodation options through Airbnb (by the way, by registering through this link, you will receive a $20 coupon for your first booking).
And which beach of these three did you like the most? Where would you like to visit when you are in Bali?
Padang Padang Beach opened to the general public relatively recently. In the early 90s, Hollywood directors noticed this beach for the filming of the film "Eat, Pray, Love" with Julia Roberts. They were sure that beautiful place will win the hearts of the audience, and the rental ratings will skyrocket. And so it turned out. After the film adaptation, in 2011, thousands of tourists flooded the coast to see it live. Now it is so popular that during the peak season there is nowhere to set foot, given that the beach is only 100 meters long.
In fact, the beach was known even before the release of the films. Surfers have been conquering the local waves for decades. They flock from all over the world to catch the famous wave, nicknamed the Bali Pipeline. It's all about the emerging special relief of the water surface, when the wave currents intersecting form a kind of tunnel that can be surfed from inside and outside.
Padang Padang Beach is located on the southwestern side of Bukit Island, within the Ungasan settlement of Uluwatu. Bukit is known for its rocky terrain, so in most of the territory there are, including near the coast, rock formations that reach 70 meters in height.
Padang Beach Padang is a piece of the coast no more than 100 m long, located in a small bay, which makes the water near the coast calm and ideal for swimming throughout the year. The sand is light in color, and the entrance to the water is smooth. The water in the sea is clear, gently turquoise. The sandy strip is surrounded by bizarre rocks, some of which have caves.
The beach is not easy to get to. There are two passages here, one of which is a narrow stone staircase with 50 steps leading down, the second is a path through a man-made narrow cave, where it is impossible for two people to pass.
Important! It is worth being extremely careful during the descent to the coast for vacationers with disabilities and adults with small children.
The climate in Padang Padang, as in the whole of Bukit, is drier than in the rest of the Balinese territory, so there is less rainfall. The water temperature ranges from 27 to 30 °C.
The coast is ideal for families with small children, the elderly and all tourists who love beach holiday. Away from the bay, already high waves rise, where surfers love to ride the waves.
Entrance to Padang Padang beach is paid, it costs 10 thousand rupees.
Entertainment
There is no developed infrastructure on the beach, such as, for example, in Kuta. If not large cluster vacationers it could be called quiet, but not secluded. The fact is that surfers regularly meet here, including at world competitions. True, they sail far from the coast - to where big waves gather.
Surfing
If you are not a professional in boarding, but really want to learn this extreme activity, then you can rent a board on the shore and hire a local mentor who will teach you the basic techniques. The waves for surfing here are conditionally divided into those on the left - higher and more difficult, where professionals practice, and on the right - low and medium height for beginners.
There is no surf school on the coast itself, but there are 2 of them in the Jimbaran area: Rip Curl School of Surf and Balangan Wave Surf School.
Bathing
For all lovers not only to admire the ocean, but also to swim, I highly recommend visiting this beach. Although it is not long, but its width allows all vacationers to accommodate at a comfortable distance from each other. Despite its crowded beach, Padang Padang is my favorite beach in Bali.
There is a rental of umbrellas here, but there are no sunbeds, so tourists settle down on towels brought with them. This is quite enough, because the sand on the coast is clean and loose. Umbrella rental costs 100 thousand rupees.
Rock climbing
The surrounding local cliffs are popular with rock climbers. This is a rather unusual entertainment that can not be found on every beach. The beauty is that even beginners can test their strength. After all, the length of the cliff prepared for climbing is 50 m, and the height is only 10 m.
All climbing equipment must be taken with you, as there is nowhere to rent it on the shore.
Padang Padang is the most loved to visit Foreign tourists. There are especially many tourists from China, Australia and Japan.
Cafes and shops
On the territory of the beach itself there is a small cafe where vacationers can have a bite to eat, drink chilled drinks. But its assortment is small, so enterprising tourists take food with them. For a larger selection of dishes, you can go to restaurants from hotels located at the top of the cliff.
On the coast there is also a shop with seafood, fruits and boiled corn. Fishermen often sell smoked fresh fish from local waters here.
If you go upstairs, closer to the road, then along it you can see a few more shops where, in addition to fruits and other food, light beachwear, bathing attributes and inexpensive souvenirs are sold.
On the rock before going down to the shore and on the beach itself there are 2 showers and a toilet, quite suitable for use. There is paid parking on the cliff, which will cost a symbolic 2,000 rupees for a bike, and 5,000 rupees for a car.
Hotels
In order to stay within the coast of Padang-Padang for the night, you should know that the hotels are not located near the water, but at the top - on the rocks. And at different distances from each other.
I have compiled a collection the best hotels different categories of stars, located no further than 500 meters from the beach.
Located on Labuan Sait Street, 397 meters from Padang-Padang Beach, near Suluban Beach, near Uluwatu Rocks. A small hotel provides accommodation in comfortable rooms with wireless internet throughout the hotel, daily cleaning of rooms. On a small terrace with a garden, you can relax and eat at a local restaurant. There is a business lounge, luggage storage and free parking.
Located on Raya Labuansait street, 468 meters from the shore, not far from the temple and the cliffs of Uluwatu. The small hotel offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and a TV. In the courtyard you can relax and unwind. There is an outdoor swimming pool and bicycle rental on site. The restaurant, combined with a bar, prepares continental breakfasts.
Located on Pantai Suluban Uluwatu Street, 502 meters from the shore, close to the rocks and the Uluwatu Temple. The hotel category and service are superior to previous hotels. On the territory of Three Monkeys Villas there are only 8 rooms - separate villas with all amenities. The hotel, designed in the national Balinese style, offers an outdoor pool and its own spa. There is a restaurant.
Located on Pantai Padang-Padang Road, just 356 meters from the beach. Along with the convenient location here high level services and a very landscaped area. Decor elements are made in the Balinese style. There is an outdoor pool, bike rental. The rooms here are detached houses with all amenities inside. The on-site restaurant serves Indonesian and international cuisine.
Located on Pantai Suluban street, 357 meters from the coast of Padang Padang, on a cliff. From the terrace and the pool offers a gorgeous view of the sea. A luxurious hotel in its category meets the requirements of the most demanding travelers. Among several regular pools, there is a magnificent infinity pool. There is a restaurant and a bar. Each villa contains 4 rooms furnished with quality furniture. Maid, cook and concierge services are provided. The hotel has a spa, free wireless internet, private yoga service.
How to get there?
On public transport it is impossible to get to the coast. You can get here on your own by bike, car or taxi. If you travel from Sanur, Seminyak, or Legian, then the shortest and most convenient way will be through Kuta. From it, as well as from Denpasar, it takes about 40 minutes to go ashore.
The final route point will be the village of Uluwatu. It is located 1 kilometer from the beach. Accidentally drive down to the ocean will not work. There is a sign with the name of the beach, and next to it there is a spacious parking lot for cars and bikes.
Padang Padang beach on the map
On this map you will find the exact location of this beach.
Padang Beach Padang is unusual for its location, small size and the absence of raging waves near the shore. However, a little further there are excellent waves for surfers. The beach is suitable for absolutely all vacationers: families with children, the elderly and young people. Despite the high popularity, you can choose the time when it becomes deserted here, and you will fully enjoy a secluded vacation.
Today we decided to "monitor" the beaches of Bali. This information will be useful to many, I'm sure of it.
Here is an overview of the beaches:
Dreamland beach (Kuta)
Balangan beach (Jimbaran)
Nammos beach - hotels Karma Kandara / Semara (Ungasan)
Pantai Geger (Nusa Dua)
Pantai Peti Tenget (Seminyak)
Medewi Beach (Pekutatan)
Bloo Lagoon Beach (Padangbai)
Padang-padang beach (Padang-padang)
Near the beach there is good parking, you can take a shower + toilet (5000 rupees), a separate toilet - 3000 rupees. The inconvenience lies in the descent through the rock, or rather through the crevice. On a small section of the road there is not even two to disperse. Pretty steep descent.
If you want to camp near a rock, beware of the monkeys. It is easy for you to steal glasses or any jewelry. Immediately at the entrance there are several eateries where you can buy something to eat, they can cook hot food from what God sent.)))
The water is calm, there are almost no waves. After a heavy downpour, it is muddy here, but if you sail a little further (even within the buoys), you will not feel it.
Beer - 20,000 rupees, a towel - 150,000 rupees, an umbrella to hide from the sun - 70,000 rupees, inserted in any place you specify. Be sure to bargain. The price for an umbrella and towels can and should be knocked down! There are no sun loungers here.
Beginner surfers also live here, because after a calm part in the ocean, you can also catch waves further away.
Overall, a nice quiet place.
