Virgin Beach (Pasir Putih)
Pantai Pasir Putih Perasi
A white-sand beach hidden behind coconut groves east of Candidasa, with turquoise water, a row of bamboo-hut seafood stalls and snorkelling.
Virgin Beach, also known as Pasir Putih (White Sand Beach), lies in Perasi village between Candidasa and Amlapura. Leave the main road for a country lane, then walk or cycle downhill to reach it. A small entrance fee and parking charge apply. The bay's sand is white and fine, unlike the black sand beaches common in East Bali. Simple restaurants along the shore serve grilled fish and coconuts, and sun loungers and snorkel gear can be rented. It gets busy with local visitors at weekends but is quiet on weekdays. It pairs well in a day trip with Ujung Water Palace and Tenganan village.
