Geger Beach

2011-02-02T09:19:00.000+08:00

Compared with the beach of Kuta beach in my opinion Geger more beautiful, clean and comfortable. The location is somewhat hidden, in an indigenous village Peminge, Nusa Dua.

If in Kuta is very noisy and frenetic with the sound of music, food vendors, and visitors, then here it was very quiet. There are no entrance fees, parking fees only just.

The beach is still a lot of sea grass, and is also an interesting place to fish. When I get there there are some people who are seen fishing activity.

Padang Padang Beach Bali

Padang Padang Beach Bali, the exotic white sandy beaches hidden among the cliffs - If you usually Bali is famous for its white sandy beaches such as Kuta, Nusa Dua, Sanur, Jimbaran and Dream land. but many of us are still strangers when they hear the name of Padang Padang beach or can be called Suluban coast, lies a hidden beach is probably one of the causes is less well known to many people. is that correct? was not really, because when I visited this beach I found the beach was crowded would be visitors. mostly foreign tourists. if the system will be using Indonesian in addition to my beach was cuman approximately 20% of them only. not really like the taste of Indonesia. I guess maybe because the location of the beach is rather isolated and far from downtown Denpasar.

If from downtown Denpasar towards the beach is located about 35 km / 45 minutes by motor vehicle headed south towards Nusa two then moved to the area Pecatu. and found this beach is still "far neighbor" of beach Dream land. during low tide we can easily to the beach with the beach from Dream leand probably about just a few miles away. but if it was high tide the road is impassable from Pura Uluwatu

and when it was the first time we meet is a bridge with a height of nearly 30 meters. This is where the beautiful scenery of the first that we can enjoy because of the bridge we could mememandang down and immediately see the coast of Padang Padang. to go down the only road that people can pass is by crossing a narrow passage that is skipped for one person only. there is no other way to get to this beach. in and out using only the narrow hallway. so if you want to get out we have to wait for the following to go up and vice versa. because exotic and beautiful beaches of white sand is surrounded by steep cliffs.

This beach is usually crowded foreign tourists sunbathing, swimming and surfing. if it was high tide surfers flocked to the beach because it has good waves for surfers. take it easy if we ask about the facility. although secluded beach is a standard facility for a beach from the rinse, toilet, and also Lifeguard or coast guard.

but despite it all, would soon be built a villa on the beach cliffs and of course it is not reducing the value of the authenticity of coastal desert wilderness. even last that I heard of this beach have another title, namely the beach Bluepoint. whoever named the beach with the name of Bluepoint, but personally I strongly disagree with the construction of these villas moreover there is a temple underneath. which notabenya kesucianya be maintained, especially in Bali. none of the buildings that can stand on top of a temple. but it turns out the infestor been set aside customary rules which should be well guarded. and this is the figure of the coast of Padang Padang.
