Secret Beach — Attraction in Kecamatan Manggis

This is definitely a secret beach in Padangbai due to its hidden way before you can get there.

If you have motorbike, then it would be easier. If none, you'll need to walk almost 2 kilometers to reach the gate. Entrance fee is Rp20 for each person.

You will walk down from jungle like place. There are no signs for the direction but follow the clear path (walkway). When you hear the strong waves, it means you're nearly there.

The beach is a hidden paradise. It's clean, clear and quiet. There is no hotel within the beach. If you're hungry, there's a local store. Also, locals will offer you bench for rent, fresh coconut juice or massage.

More tourist and local are there in the late afternoon. The beach is definitely beautiful...

This is actually Bias Tugel beach, aka White Sand Beach, which is how it's signposted locally.

Lovely beach, wasn't busy when we went in March, there was plenty of space. It's picturesque, and access is walking only. There is a pair of tracks which go through the hills to the beach, both have steep stepped sections.

There area pair of Warungs offering beach gear and loungers for rent, drinks, food etc.

When we were there, the water was calm, small waves only, great for swimming. Snorkeling is great, tons of colourful fish and some coral, even close to shore.

There was a fair bit of rubbish sunken in the water, and on the sides of the tracks to the beach, but that's typical of Bali...

Many people have already died at this spot. A couple of days ago, a young man died again. There were no rescuers. We waited a long time for a boat to help save the person, but the Indonesians were in no hurry. After 20-30 minutes, a small boat arrived, searched for 10 minutes, and then left, saying they didn't find anyone. At the entrance, you pay money, but there is no safety. Be assured that no one will rush to save you in case of trouble.

Be careful. It's beautiful there, but if there are waves, don't swim for...
