Padang Padang Beach
Pantai Padang Padang
A small bay reached by squeezing through a rock crevice and down steps. It is the beach featured in the film Eat Pray Love and also a world-class surf spot.
Padang Padang lies on the west coast of the Bukit Peninsula. From the roadside, you go down through a narrow rock crevice and a flight of steps to the bay, where white sand and clear blue water are enclosed by cliffs. The left-hand reef break hosts surfing competitions every year. For ordinary visitors, sunbathing and taking photos are best, and swimming is not advisable when the waves are big. There are monkeys nearby, so keep an eye on your belongings. Admission is about IDR 15,000. It is about 15 minutes' drive from Uluwatu Temple and can be combined with Suluban and Bingin Beach.
