SEVEN BALI HOLIDAYS

This is the top 10 of Bali's best hidden beaches, and it's known as a secret white sand beach tucked in the back of the hills.

Locals refer to Bias Tugel Beach as Pantai Bias Tugel. Just south of Padangbai Harbour is a little bay with a 130-meter strip of white sand.
The bay provides a serene setting, thanks to a long and narrow headland that shields it from the bustle of the adjacent port.

Bias Tugel Beach is very similar to the Blue Lagoon Beach in Padangbai. The difference between the beaches is that there is a large enough natural pool.

There are remnants of volcanic black in the golden sand. The grains are huge, but the ground is still soft underfoot, if not noisy.

Volcanic cliffs merge into a stony beachfront that wraps around the beach's headlands on both ends.

Here's all you need to know before visiting Padangbai's Bias Tugel Beach, but feel free to skip to any part that interests you. 

Bias Tugel Beach: What to Do and See

This beach has less visitors than a touristy beach. You can enjoy and relax here because it is so calm.
All of the benefits of this beach encourage visitors to spend their time doing activities such as swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, or even soaking in pools developed among the coral.
Because of the clean sea water, an underwater panorama that is still natural and quite lovely may be seen clearly.
You can also rent snorkels and fins from one of the local vendors who rents out such equipment and go swimming or snorkeling.

The wave is normally not too big, so you can swim or snorkel securely, but there are seasons when the wave is stronger, and swimming at this beach requires caution. On the southern end of Bias Tugel Beach, over the opposite headland, you can see the ruins of a hotel project that was abandoned halfway through construction.
If you're inquisitive and up for some urban adventure, this abandoned site is worth checking out.

About Bias Tugel Beach

Bias Tugel Beach, also known as Secret Beach, is a beautiful white sand beach that is no longer hidden.

Its true mystery is that no one seems to know what it's called officially. Pantai Kecil, a local Balinese phrase that loosely translates to 'the Little Beach,' is the name given to Pantai Bias Tugel.

"Bias" means "sand," and "Tugel" means "cut." This beach has a rather short beachfront of about 200 meters.

Nonetheless, this beach is known for having the whitest sand in Bali. The seawater appears to be clear, and the beach is still peaceful.

A little lagoon can be found on the left side of Bias Tugel Beach. You can swim in it or simply relax in it.
Just don't do it when the sea tides are high, because you never know if you'll get carried away by the waves.

A water blow phenomenon can also be found on the beach. Simply face the sea and glance to the right to see sea water that has hit the reef and appears to be a fountain.

Tirta Gangga, Taman Ujung Water Palace, Candidasa, and the Gates of Heaven at Lempuyang Temple are all popular tourist destinations near Bias Tugel Beach.
