**Review of Snorkeling at Virgin Beach** Snorkeling at Virgin Beach is a captivating experience that immerses you in the vibrant underwater world of Bali. This hidden gem, located near the village of Candidasa, offers crystal-clear waters, abundant marine life, and a tranquil atmosphere perfect for a snorkeling adventure. The waters at here are exceptionally clear, providing excellent visibility for snorkelers. The pristine conditions make it easy to observe the colorful coral reefs and the diverse marine species that inhabit the area. Virgin Beach is home to a variety of marine life, including tropical fish, sea turtles, and vibrant coral formations. The reefs are teeming with life, and snorkelers can expect to see parrotfish, clownfish, and many other species. The abundance and diversity of marine life make each snorkeling session unique and exciting. Reaching Virgin Beach involves a scenic drive through Bali's lush landscapes, followed by a short walk down to the beach. The journey adds to the adventure, and the relatively secluded location ensures a peaceful experience, away from the more crowded tourist spots. You have to pay a fee at the gate but its worth every cent! While Virgin Beach is more remote, there are a few local vendors offering equipment rentals, snacks, and drinks. The lack of large-scale development helps preserve the natural beauty and tranquility of the area, though it means you should come prepared with your own snorkeling gear if you prefer. Snorkeling at Virgin Beach is a must-do activity for anyone visiting Bali. The combination of clear waters, rich marine life, and a serene setting creates an unforgettable underwater adventure. Whether you're an experienced snorkeler or a beginner, Virgin Beach offers a perfect spot to explore Bali's underwater wonders and enjoy a peaceful day by the sea.

Before getting to the beach, if the weather is good, you'll see Mount Agung clearly. The entrance ticket is Rp 10k. You'll get free parking lot, and free toilet. If you want to rent sunbeds they're available along the beaches. The beach was clear and there were not many tourists coming here at 10 am - 3 pm. You can do snorkeling in here by renting a mask which about Rp 25k-50k. You'll find plenty of beautiful fish, many dory fish, big corals, even seal face puffer by swimming about 100-200 meters from the beach. WARNING: please be careful of sea snakes, I found about 3 of them with different types: the black and white stripes, yellow and black stripes, also the small one with brown and black types. As long you don't swim near them or threat them, it will be fine. After all, it was great experience coming here.

Don't go to sea breeze cafe, the first cafe on the left as you go to the beach, its a rip off with extremely poor service. There are plenty of options in cafe available. 5 stars for the clear beach and the blue shades of water. Its normally not so crowded but the beach is small in size so it may get crowded on a holiday. You can spend a good enough time relaxing on the beach. You wont get to see the sunset or sunrise here as the beach is circled by mountains on both sides. Plenty of sun during the day otherwise. Not good for surfing as the waves are not so strong but hence good for swimming. You can get your own stuff and lay peacefully on beach as there is ample space available. You need to pay 30k as entrance fee when you enter from the hilly side up from road side before Candidasa. Would go back again.

Unbelievable, how such beautiful and iconic place is being destroyed by local people. Tons of garbage in the sea, some people float with it - everything is there: used electric bulbs, styrofoam, plastic bags, rubber, food leftovers. This is not the tourist trash, this is local trash that again proves that Balinese people are going to destroy their paradise. I really hope that soon there won’t be any tourists here so the local people will finally open their eyes and start to respect what they have. A lot of bars with umbrellas and beds, almost no customers so every bar employee will approach you and try to sell something. Coconut 25k, which is comparable to price in center of Ubud, while they have coconuts here in place. Food quite expensive. Entrance fee was 10k per person.

Beautiful beach with white sand. Be prepared to have your music offline (if you want to be relaxed while get sunbathe) as it has no signal at all (even for phone call). It has wide sand beach, so even tough there are many visitor, you still can enjoy it. There’s only 1 proper canteen and 2 other small drink-stall who sell coconut and beee. But you can also bring your own drink and snacks before you reach the beach. If you come with car, you’ll need to park your car in the main parking area and walk down for about 5 minutes. If you ride motorbike, you actually can ride it to the motorbike parking area near to the beach. But, if you are not confidence with your riding ability, it better to parking it in the main parking area (car parking), for the route is so steep.

This is probably the best beach in the whole of Bali for those that like to swim/play in the water and chill. It is a beautiful white sand and clear water beach with barely any waves. Water temperature is warm. A bit of a ride to get there and need to pay entrance but definitely worth it. You can rent a towel for 5k from the warungs on the left side of the beach and they also have showers for you to use afterwards. They sell fresh fish, coconuts and rent the daybeds all for cheap. On the right side the beach is still virgin, with no shops. From here you can hike to another 3 small beaches nearby via stairs on the far left of the beach.
