There are two version of which beach to be called Padang Padang Beach. The most known one amongst the visitors are the one east of the bridge after Bingin beach. However, the local in Bukit (South Bali Hill) consider the Padang Padang Beach is the one west of the bridge. The coastline stretch are much longer and wider then the more popular Padang-Padang Beach.To get o this beach you have to pass private land where a small café and home located on it. Thank to God that the land is still own by a Balinese family. The view from the simple café on the top of the cliff is outstanding. A nice curvy coastline with still many coconut trees grow between the white sand beach and the cliff. At distance dreamland beach and even airport is still visible on clear day.
Almost a hundred steps down to get to the beach. Two building like huts are at the bottom. They use for fishermen meeting place as well as fishing tool storage. Only few outrigger boats still exist. There is also some sign of seaweed farming in here as we notice some wooden sticks are planted in line under the water.
If you walk on the beach all the way to the right, at the end of the coastline, there are big rocks. Small shrine is built on the top of one huge rock. Few more temples also located closer to the cliff, amongst spiky pandanous plant and coconuts. When the tide is low , it is possible to walk around the corner and see the common Padang- Padang in the other side. Around this corner is where the famous wave of Padang Padang is located.
