Excitement was real while we were looking for places to visit here. Checking photos and understanding how beautiful it is, we wanted to go there as soon as possible and so we did, next morning we were on the way.
PENTAI TEGAL WANGI
This was the first place we visited, it was attractive with its beautiful view and rocky beach. This place is located on the west of Bukit.
We went down to the sandy beach and sat down on the rock to enjoy this beauty, because we were alone for some time.
This place is not allowed for swimming or surfing, because of the massive reef in the ocean. Waves were breaking and we felt such a power from that coastline.
The beach is nice for yoga or fishing, both are some kind of meditation
ULUWATU BEACH
Riding around the Bukit is so easy, the distance is not very big and everything you want to see is reachable quite fast.
Uluwatu is such a nice place. It makes you feel like in a resort. Well designed cafes and restaurants, the streets are clean. Also Uluwatu is known for big waves and it’s a candy for surfers.
We arrived there absolutely occasionally, paid for the parking and went to explore the Uluwatu beach.
Unfortunately, almost every place we have visited so far, Bali likes to charge for entry or parking, but probably this is the reason why everything is in a good condition. We paid 30 cents.
All cafes, bars and restaurants are located on the cliff with a view to the Indian Ocean. If you want to go to the beach then do it during offshore tide, otherwise you won’t get there. Going downstairs through all restaurants and cafes, you will get in caves (in app maps.me they are called Secret Caves).
They seemed like something mysterious, but at the same time so beautiful. Of course, the beach was full of people, but if you manage to get there while nobody is there, you will be lucky.
We had a lovely walk almost through the whole beach, moving on the reef while they were not under the water.
Also we saw how surfers were running through the coastline to get to the spot where they can enter the ocean and catch some waves with height around 4 meters and a massive foam. Impressive.
Uluwatu has a well-known bar which is called Single Fin. We wanted to drink some cocktails, but 2 floors where taken and we had no place to sit. It was a sunset time, probably that’s why we didn’t get a place.
Good music playing and sunset view is available as well. On Wednesdays and Sundays they are throwing great parties with nice music, make sure you check it out.
Uluwatu Temple
The next place we visited was Uluwatu temple.
Actually we wanted to get there because of the view from the cliff. Yeah, we are kind of a view lovers and collectors, haha.
We were hoping that the entry is free, but it wasn’t..we paid a bit more than 2$ each and got in.
The first thing we saw was a crowd of Chinese tourists with guides. We thought that we want to be alone for a moment and followed the stairs to a nice view point.
We took amazing photos, and we were so tired because of the heat and we had no strenght to explore any temples :D but the place is must visit because of the views and be aware of monkeys, they are everywhere and they love to steal sunglasses (my experience) :D
This was our little intro to Bali journey. Tomorrow we are going to explore the whole island, cities, volcanoes, waterfalls and many more. We are soooo excited and can’t wait to share with you!
Thanks for reading and have more sunny days!
