Bias Tugel Beach — Attraction in Kecamatan Manggis

Bias Tugel means piece of beach, because this beach is not so big, surrounding by a rock hills and somewhat difficult to access.

Just drive your car to Padang Bai harbor, and at the end of the entrance gate to the ferry (to Lembar, Lombok), you'll see a road on the right, drive through that road, and at the junction ask people there, or take left, narrow road reach to the end of the beach entrance. Remember, if you use car, then when you reach the end of the road, you can't turn your car, because there's structure building wall at the left and right of the road, so you must backtrack until you reach the building with a black paint on the gate, then you can turn around your car......

There's ticket entrance but very cheap, organized by local people. They'll tell you to follow the path. This beach is not popular beach, but real worth to enjoy. Follow the path, it's very quiet, maybe only a few people come here everyday. Walk until you see the sign that said "Bias Tugel" with an arrow point you to the left, you'll see a abandon gate...

If you don't want to turn left, then just go straight, walk in the small path of the back of building structure until you reach the dead end, you'll see damage stairs down to the ocean, full of rock, not recommended for elder people, it's dangerous because if something goes wrong, maybe nobody will hear you scream, it's so lonely....don't go there when it tide.....

Back to the damaged entrance gate before, go to through the entrance and you'll walk in the small path that will lead you down to the white sand beach of Bias Tugel. Beware of the path, it's slippery with sand, pretty tiring for old people, so I don't suggest for them. The beach very beautiful, you can relax on the beach, there's daybed you can rent, or just swim as long as you want.......watch the ferry from the beach, some fishing boat, nice......

Go there before some greedy company take over all the attraction, it can be predict because there are concrete wall with structure everywhere, even it's like abandon...

Skip the entrance fee and take the free Locals access trail. Lovely little beach with great swimming and some very basic snorkeling. Very few beach hawkers. I Highly suggest getting food at Erna Warung, run by a very sweet lady and her family. Her cafe is almost the very north-most one; if coming from the main trail, go all the way down to the opposite end of the beach. Erna will grill fresh fish for you, stop for a chat, and let you use her sun beds for free if you are eating and drinking at her place. A word on ACCESS: If you follow the white signs to the main entrance road south of town, you will be charged a 10k access fee by local mafia. It’s kinda sad really, as it’s 3 guys sitting in the shade doing nothing but trying to pocket your money. You never see them doing anything to improve the rugged trail or clean up the trash, or provide a public toilet. If they were legit it would only take one guy to collect fees and the other 2 would be working to improve the place, but like a little boys gang, they are afraid that they need 3 guys to properly intimidate and shake down the visitors. Typical Bali. The rough trail from Padang Bai town may or may not be staffed by local fee hustlers. But LOOK there is another local trail that bypasses this checkpoint. Take the next narrow paved trail just to the south of the main parking entrance and follow the tall stone wall down hill toward the ocean. Then turn left at the hole in the wall and thru the broken gate. Walk north along this trail until you reach the rough steps down to the sand. Also it is stated that beach hours are from 10-6 but it is actually open all the time. 10 to 6 are just the hours that the fee hustlers can be bothered to sit there. I have come here as early as 8 am and as late as 8:30pm and it is beautiful and quiet in these off hours. Some warungs are open as early as 8 am and will be happy to serve you breakfast...

If you're looking for a peaceful and picturesque beach getaway, look no further than this hidden gem located just an hour's drive from Sanur. The beach is characterized by its white, powdery sand and crystal clear blue waters that are perfect for swimming and relaxing. The waves are gentle, making it a great spot for families or those looking to avoid big swells.

One of the best things about this beach is its seclusion. Crowds are minimal, so you can enjoy your own slice of paradise without the hustle and bustle of more popular beaches. This is truly an oasis where you can kick back and soak in the natural beauty of Bali.

If you get hungry, there are several local restaurants nearby where you can enjoy delicious food and snacks. Whether you're looking for traditional Indonesian dishes or more westernized options, you'll find something to suit your taste. The local vendors also sell fresh coconut water, which is perfect to cool down and hydrate yourself.

However, it is worth noting that there is an entry fee of 10,000 IDR per person, but this does include parking for motorbikes. Once you've paid the fee, the beach is just a short 5-minute walk downhill. The walk itself is worth it, as you're surrounded by lush greenery and stunning views. Additionally parking spot is spacious and safe.

All in all, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking to escape the crowds and enjoy a tranquil and beautiful natural setting. With its white sand, crystal clear waters, and minimal crowds, it's the perfect spot to unwind and relax. Don't miss out on...
