You can also come across some monkeys there so do not leave your things unattended. You may remember the beach from the film Eat, Pray, Love. There are also plentiful food vendors and umbrellas for rent. The surfing break is offshore, but the waters in close are calm and there’s a good shallows area by the overhang. The prime surfing here is not for beginners. It’s a fast long pipeline on a shallow reef and has a reputation for being one of Bali’s nastier waves. Better for beginners is the gentle right hand wave, it is very forgiving. You don’t need to be a surfer though to hang out, the water is turquoise and the sand soft and yellow, it’s very pleasant and peaceful. It really does feel like a perfect beach while lounging under the shade of a big umbrella and staring out at the gentle blue waves lapping at the shore.

Melasti beach was explored as a part of our south bali exploration. It is about 1 hour drive by taxi. It is located in a bit of secluded area of south bali and one needs a vehicle not just for drop off but take you back too. We watched kekak dance performance which was a wonderful experience in the backdrop of Melasti beach. Dance was well organized and entertaining. One has to pay 20000 IDR to the entry point. It has a small cafe, supermarket and also decent washroom facilities. Must do in south Bali.
Our driver and guide for the day was Riko. Riko was absolutely brilliant. He tailored our day just to how we wanted it. He was so accommodating, fun to be with and his English is excellent. Riko has great knowledge of the area and made the day hassle free and loads of fun. The whole family loved our day out and would highly recommend this trip
Melasti beach has a white sand and the vibe is just very chill. I only dropped by the beach to people watch and there's just a row of people in the daybeds just getting a tan. There's no water sport activities when we got there probably because of the waves. There are also several restos you can try and rent a daybed in.
We had a wonderful day, both of the beaches was stunning with white sand and clear blue sea, great for swimming. We went to a nice place for lunch and visited the Uluwatu temple which was a fantastic location & then we watched the Kecack fire dance which was amazing, out driver gave us a sheet explaining the story which made it more enjoyable. We finished the day at Jimbaran beach for a lovely seafood dinner. Our driver Bayu was wonderful, he was very informative and a fantastic driver who knew all of the roads very well and able to avoid traffic queues. Highly recommended
A fabulous day led by my amazing driver Putu Rika. He showed me some of the beautiful beaches in Uluwatu. I’m thankful I had him when visiting the temple because those monkeys are really cheeky and they will steal anything
We really enjoyed our tour with Bayu, he was always helpful and patient. The beaches he showed us were fantastic! We could spend a lot of time on each beach and could even go for a swim multiple times! The Kecak dance at sunset was stunning! The tour ended with delicious seafood at Jimbaran Beach.
Bayu is the sweetest guide. My husband and I had a lovely time exploring the beaches with Bayu’s tips for the areas. The candle lit seafood dinner on the beach was the perfect way to end the night. Highly recommend!

Nice beach, quite long with some restaurants that offer sun bed. There are no rock on the beach and the waves are small. Very popular with local tour buses
