Padang Padang Beach is considered one of the most picturesque and swimmable beaches in Bali. Yes, it is beautiful, but there are a number of important nuances that should be taken into account!First of all, there are rocks at the bottom and not much to swim. The waves hit the swimmers hard on the stone slabs, you need to be very careful. Secondly, the descent is very difficult, and the ascent is even more difficult. This must be taken into account. I would not recommend this place to the elderly, small children, and anyone with knee problems. Thirdly, on the beach, especially when descending, monkeys often rush in order to take away something (glasses, phone, bags, caps). Along this staircase there are local guys who, for a fee, will try to return to you everything that the monkeys stole (it seemed that the monkeys were trained and trained for this - these guys get this exchange very quickly) Fourth, the entrance is paid and everything that is sold downstairs costs twice as much as in the store upstairs near the parking lot, so buy everything in advance, especially water (you will definitely need it there). Fifth, there are strong tides on the beach. While you go to take pictures, your belongings may already be washed away. As a result, I do not regret visiting the beach, but I would not recommend it to anyone. There are beaches much better than this!

The beach is very beautiful. But swimming is not very comfortable, there are large and small stones at the bottom, swimming is allowed without a board only very close to the shore, a lot of people, surfers. But the waves, surfers and sunset are simply mesmerizing. Democratic, dirty. Steep stairs to the podium.

It is a very beautiful beach, and especially a beautiful entrance to it... But unfortunately, sometimes you have to swim surrounded by plastic bags and bottles...
