Padang Padang Beach
Padang Padang Beach, also known as Pantai Labuan Sait, is located in the southwest of the Bukit Peninsula, in the Pecatu area, near the village of Ungasan. It is 28 kilometers from Denpasar. The beach is hidden among limestone rocks and is accessed through a cave or a narrow staircase with 50 steps.
• Size and appearance: The small beach, about 100 meters long, resembles a cozy bay surrounded by white cliffs. White coarse-textured sand, turquoise water and black boulders with green moss create an incredibly picturesque landscape.
• Bottom and waves: The rocky bottom and gentle entrance to the water make the place safe for swimming. Surfers ride far from the shore, where the waves reach the desired height.
• Best time to visit: Sunsets and sunrises here are especially beautiful when the rocks and water shimmer in hues of gold and red.
History and popularity
The beach was almost unknown until the 1990s, when it was discovered by photographers and filmmakers. Among the highlights:
• Filming of the Michael Learns To Rock video in 1996.
• Episodes of the film “In God's Hands” (1998).
• Worldwide fame after the release of the film “Eat, Pray, Love” with Julia Roberts in 2010.
Since then, Padang Padang has become a place of pilgrimage not only for cinema fans, but also for professional surfers.
