Melasti Beach
Pantai Melasti
A beach road carved through the limestone cliffs southeast of Uluwatu, winding down to white sand and clear blue water. It has been one of the hottest beaches on Bali's south coast in the past couple of years.
Melasti Beach lies in Ungasan village at the southern tip of Bali. Locals cut a winding road through the tall limestone cliffs down to the beach, and the sight of cars descending the road is the signature shot. The beach has fine white sand and clear water. At low tide, reef pools reveal small sea creatures. Beach clubs and snack shops line the shore, and in the evening a Kecak fire dance is performed in an amphitheater below the cliffs (separate ticket). Entry and parking fees are very cheap. It is about 40 minutes' drive from Jimbaran or Kuta, and is often combined with Pandawa Beach and Uluwatu Temple in one day. Watch the safety flags when waves are big, and bring sun protection, as the sun is strong.
