Picture-Perfect Cove Beach from Eat Pray Love
Padang Padang Beach gained international fame as the filming location for the movie "Eat Pray Love," but this stunning cove has been captivating visitors long before Hollywood discovered it. Accessed through a narrow cave opening in the limestone cliffs, the beach feels like a hidden paradise enclosed by towering rock walls.
The beach features pristine white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water, creating perfect conditions for both swimming and surfing. The famous Padang Padang surf break attracts professional surfers from around the world, hosting international competitions including the Rip Curl Cup. When waves are smaller, the beach is perfect for swimming and relaxation.
The unique cave entrance and natural amphitheater setting make Padang Padang one of Bali's most photogenic beaches. The surrounding cliffs provide natural shade and create an intimate atmosphere that feels worlds away from Bali's busier beach areas.
Padang Padang is primarily for intermediate to advanced surfers due to shallow reef and powerful waves. Beginners should try other beaches like Kuta or take lessons at more suitable breaks.
Follow the stairs down from the parking area to a narrow cave opening in the cliff. Duck through the cave (watch your head) and you'll emerge onto the beautiful beach. The path is well-marked but can be slippery.
