Indonesia Bali South Kuta Badung Regency

Padang Padang Beach

A hidden, picturesque surfers' haven in South Kuta, known for its clear waters, white sand, and accessible via a unique hollow rock entrance.

Tips from the community

A few clicks north of Uluwatu’s iconic reef is the small sandy inlet of Padang Padang. It’s got two separate breaks in its roster: Baby Padang and Padang Padang proper. The first is something simple for beginners and intermediates, offering a softly breaking ride that’s created by the mixing of sand and reef just beyond the shore. The latter is a gnarly blue tube that’s sculpted in the ilk of the Banzai Pipeline. It crashes right in from the open ocean straight onto jagged corals – experts only. Make sure not to get the two mixed up!
