Medewi Beach
Pantai Medewi
A black-sand and pebble surf beach in Jembrana Regency on Bali's west coast, known for a very long left-hand wave. It is quiet, with few visitors.
Medewi Beach lies on the southwest coast in Jembrana Regency. It is a bay of mixed black sand and pebbles, bordered by coconut groves and rice fields. It is famous for left-hand waves that run for hundreds of meters. The waves are gentle, suiting intermediate surfers and longboarders, and a few surf camps and guesthouses along the beach rent boards and offer coaching. Compared with the southern beaches it sees far fewer visitors and feels more natural, but the pebbles and big waves make it unsuitable for swimming. It is about 2.5-3 hours' drive from Denpasar and is usually combined with the western Tanah Lot Temple or visited on the way to Gilimanuk Port. Surfers often stay one or two nights.
