Pantai Duyung — Attraction in Denpasar Selatan

The spot in Pantai Duyung itself is full of seaside restaurants, not many of them open early for breakfast. At night, one can find a more laidback dining experience, more calm and peaceful compared to Kuta and other more popular tourist beaches.

It's one of the nice beaches to catch sunrise and morning walk, after all, it's on the same stretch with Sanur and other beach literally called Sunrise Beach. Walk further to the right you would find less congested area.

The parking itself is so so, it's along the stretch of the street, parallel parking. Make sure you park with your car facing the exit to ease your way out when you come in the morning. If you come earlier like me, around 6-6.30, you can find good parking spots nearer to the beach, and it's still very easy to do the 3 point turns instead of later because the beach would get more crowded the later it is. For weekends, above 7, I'd say forget it. Maybe even before that because it would be challenging to find a parking spot. Motorcycles can park nearer...

One of the best spots to watch sunrise is pantai duyung sanur at the southeast corner of Bali island.

On a calm day pantai duyung will look like an infinity with the sun rising just behind. Also something you will notice about sanur people is how early everyone gets up to exercise, surf, meditate or just walk around with their dogs. This creates a great morning activities that i just don't get in many other parts of bali. For just a IDR 2k for parking fee we can access pantai duyung for a swim, walk, and stay as long as we like. It does get busy especially during weekends so get there early to get the front row spot to watch the sunrise.

The Balinese sky is pretty...

This beach is typical of the beaches along Sanur. Calm, especially at low tide, reasonably clean (but not the cleanest around, which isn't surprising seeing the proximity to Denpasar). The path running all the way along the beach at Sanur has been widened and upgraded, which makes for a lovely walk or electric cycle ride (no mopeds allowed 👍👍). I used to park my car in a large open space at Pantai Duyung but please be aware that this area has been closed off by a brick wall and so now only motorbike access is possible through a small gap. This leaves very, very limited on-street car...
