The Fabulous Padang Padang Beach

Have you ever surf before?

Or have you ever know about the surf spot in Bali??

Well, two weeks ago I went to padang Padang Beach (after several months I have not came).

Bali as known has numerous surfing breaks, and as any good surfer will know, the best breaks are down on the Bukit. The Bukit Peninsula is the 'upside down mushroom' shaped chunk of land at the southern end of the island. Here it is,… Padang Padang beach is one of the best surf spot in Bali which has a big wave and fabulous view, and for your information... Padang Padang has a fast left-hander breaks which is for experienced surfers only. ^__^ But, do not worry, beginner still can surf as long as you are accompanied by surf instructor,... and the best thing is LIFE GUARD will always ready to safe us.

Where is it?

It is located in the south part of Badung regency; about 35 minutes drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport. You will enjoy the route to reach the beach; up and down all along the way and green, except in the dry season this area will not as green as in the rainy season.

Direction to get there: Bypass towards Nusa Dua, Uluwatu turn off, past Dreamland turnoff, right hand turn towards Bingin, down hill to Padang Padang.

How to get there?

Well, you may go to the beach whether by car or motor. It depends on your purpose and your comfort, but I usually use motorbike since it makes me easier to reach the place, especially traffic jam can be avoided.

When you get there, you will see the fresh virgin white sand beach. It is so different with the crowded Kuta beach, which is the icon of beaches in Bali. To get the place, from the parking lot, you will pass several stairs then cave path until you come to the beach. WOW… that was the first word I could say five years ago; it was the first time I got there. It changes in some way, but the nature is still the same as I saw. White - yellow sand with shady areas, no crowded peddles, with the beautiful hills around the beach, and the clear water of course.

You want to stay close to the beach?? Do not worry; there are several places to stay. From the cheaper cottages up to the expensive villas are available to stay. I guarantee you will love this place, especially for you who love to stay close with nature and peaceful place,… here it is, the fabulous Padang Padang beach. The accommodations are varies in rate. For you who love to travel in backpacker way, there are some cheap cottages / home stays (the rate around IDR 150.000), one of small hotel I have visited has a rate IDR 250.000 with a beach view and yummy foods (I have tasted the menu when I came with some friends), and let me check the name of the hotel (as usual… foods make me lost in memory, LOL).

So, what are you waiting for??? Pack your bikini, sunscreen, sunglasses, short, and beach sandals. Get ready to enjoy the harmony of the fabulous Padang Padang beach! Ow,… hey you surfer,… please to bring your own surf board and lets surf till you down. Paddle, catch the wave… and surf!!
