ONE of the most sought-after tourist attractions in Bali is watching the sunset at dusk. The Island of the Gods has many locations on the beach to enjoy this short but memorable moment. Several places such as Tanah Lot, Kuta, Double Six, Kelingkin Beach, and Jimbaran are famous for their beautiful views in the afternoon.
But apart from these beaches, here are recommendations for other locations to enjoy the sunset from the best places in Bali.
1. Kelan Beach
Kelan Beach, which is only 10 minutes from Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport, can be an option to see the beautiful sunset as well as see planes that have just taken off or are about to land. Open 24 hours, this beach is also suitable for tourists who want to bring small children because the waves are calm. So, children can play in the sea water and enjoy seeing planes.
2. Dreamland Beach
Dreamland Beach is located in the Pecatu area, Bali. This beach is usually a stopover place for tourists from Garuda Wisnu Kencana. The trip to this beach is treated to beautiful views. Arriving there, tourists will find a beach with dark blue water mixed with turquoise green, clean white sand, because not many people know about it. If it’s hot, tourists can rent a sundeck or umbrella while waiting for sunset to arrive.
To enter this beach, tourists are only charged a parking fee of IDR5,000 for motorbikes and IDR20,000 for cars. This beach is open from 07.00 to 18.30 WITA.
3. Batu Bolong Beach Canggu
In the third location there is Batu Bolong beach, which is in the North Kuta area, Bali. This beach provides a unique sunset view because it seems close to the sky and clouds. Tourists only need to pay IDR5,000 for vehicle parking per car to go to this beach.
While waiting for the sunset, tourists can shop and eat at local restaurants. After that, enjoy playing in the water on the beach until sunset. When sunset arrives, the sky will show its beautiful orange color, with blue sky and white clouds.
4. Honeymoon Beach
Honeymoon Beach, located in Jimbaran, is suitable for picnics with green grass on coral rocks. When evening arrives, tourists will see the sunset with its unique beauty. This place is still not known to many tourists, so for those who are not comfortable with crowds, you can come to this beach.
It is recommended to come here by motorbike because the road is small. Entrance and parking tickets are free.
5. Petitenget Beach
Petitenget Beach is in Seminyak. This beach offers a calm atmosphere, not crowded like Kuta or Jimbaran. While waiting for the afternoon, tourists can relax with snacks around the beach, or hang out at restaurants, or cafes and bars on the beach.
When evening arrives, Petitenget beach is a little more crowded because everyone is waiting for the sunset. Many people choose this place because the sky looks more beautiful and the sun looks bigger.
This beach is open to the public and free, tourists are only charged a parking fee of IDR2,000 for motorbikes and IDR5,000 for cars. [sources/photo special]
