White sand
Bali beach rating: 4.9
The beach is notable for its perfectly white sand, which was introduced here to ennoble the area and attract more tourists. But over time, the sand washed out a bit, so its present color is rather grayish than white. The coast is equipped with umbrellas and sun beds, but you cannot call the beach fully equipped: it is not particularly monitored for cleanliness.
The right side of the coast is rich in luxury coral reefs: lovers of high-quality diving can enjoy the beauty of the underwater world. The sea is calm enough, but from time to time there are strong excitements. In principle, White sand is the only one on the East coast of Bali suitable for swimming in the generally accepted meaning. By the way, it is located at a distance from the airport, so there will be no noise and many tourists here. Paradise and only. A tasty snack can be in one of the inexpensive cafes located directly on the beach. They belong to the locals. By the way, the clients of the cafe are provided with free sun beds, umbrellas and towels. Nearby is a chocolate factory and an organic soap factory.
To the note: there is no hotel infrastructure near the beach, so you can look here for a day by car from other parts of Bali.

The modest little beach is incredibly popular with visiting tourists, so during the peak season it is often crowded. But this is perhaps his only drawback.
