Pantai Kelating — Attraction in Bali

If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway from the idle management of Balinese development here you can find it.

Just half an hour's drive from the busy Canggu, here you can still listen to the sound of the waves and nature without loud beach clubs' interference.

When I got here in the morning I had the whole beach to enjoy by myself.

The way to get here is quite easy, the road is in good condition, and there is a small shop at the front where you can buy water, local food, and so on.

If you're looking for a calm, no-frills beach experience, Kelating is a solid choice. Just come prepared, and...

However, there's a significant issue with litter. The amount of waste is overwhelming, which really detracts from the area's beauty. It's sad and disappointing to see that more attention isn't being paid to keeping the environment clean. This place is important to us, as well as to the future of our children and their children. Unfortunately, the government doesn't seem to be doing much to address this problem, which is truly...
