Padang Padang is a tiny cove entered down a stairway through a cleft in the rock. White sand, turquoise water, monkeys on the cliffs — one of Bali's most photographed spots. The outer reef hosts a wave that stages world surfing contests.
The beach is miniature and fills by midday in season — come early. Swimming is pleasant in calm water near shore; entry costs a token fee, and there are almost no loungers — just sand and rocks.
