Dense green forests and limestone cliffs surround the location. After completing my descent into the beach through the stairs on the cliff, I was stunned by the beautiful natural view of the white tides and clear waters.

After a whole day of traveling, I sat at the front of the beach, enjoying the sunset, and relish the deliciously cooked fresh seafood. 

Also, in my opinion, the setting is perfect for romantic dinners and serves as a treasure for scenic photoshoots.

Suluban Beach

Suluban Beach is another paradise for surfers to enjoy left-hand point breaks naturally. I visited the beach on my trip to Bali and witnessed several surfers running on the beach or paddling out to ride the tides. So, be ready to deal with the bustling sounds of crashing tides and several surfers.

You have to go through a cave to reach the beach, which is totally safe. It is not the best spot for swimming and relaxing in my experience, as the strong tides can easily wash you out. 

Nevertheless, the place is perfect to enjoy with your loved ones, shop, and get a closer look at local culture by indulging in Kecak-Ramayana Monkey Chant at Uluwatu temple, which is close to the beach.

While diving, you can explore the underwater flora, coral, and famous wreck of the sunken Japanese transporter, USAT Liberty. Besides this, you can see several locals going through the process of salt production on the beach. 

Virgin Beach

Locally known as Pasir Putih, Virgin Beach is one of those places where you can embrace the silence, connect with nature, and relax with your family members. The name justifies itself because of its pristine and unspoiled beauty. 

The secluded beach features soft white sand, which is unique in east Bali as most of the beaches are covered by black sand and clear turquoise waters.

In fact, it is a sweet spot to click some beautiful snaps in the clean water or near lush green coves with palm trees.
