Solo Picnic. Bread, Oreo, Water, Mat, Big Trees, Beach, Sky and Sea.

Hey, I found a gem inside a busy city. At the first, I intended to visit Nusa Dua Beach after Sunday service in Puja Mandala. I get around using waze about a half hour and finally i get lost because waze showed me the direction which can't access by public. Well I just enjoyed the hot sunny trip. Fortunately, i found a hidden gem in here. It is located in BTDC Nusa Dua area near to Devdan show theater. Well, i don't know what is the exact name of this hidden beach. I searched in waze, it's appears Nusa Dhamma. Nusa Dhamma is not a beach name but a pura beside this beach. Yeah, maybe this is an unnamed beach. 

 

As like you see in this picture, what a shady trees. When i walk in to this beach the feeling change 180 just like walk from the hell to heaven - hot to cool - 

Quickly i found a place under a big tree and set up my mat for my first solo picnic in Bali. 

Bread. Oreo. Water. Mat. Big Trees. Beach. Sky. Sea.

[Kue Putu] Indonesian traditional snack. Steamed cake made from rice flour with grated coconut as topping. Well the taste was delicious, the texture was soft and fluffy. You can find this street food anywhere in Bali. The price is Rp 1.000/pc (less than 1 cent)

Big trees, beach, sea and sky as my friend.

Anyway, the view has nothing special. So, why i say i found a gem in here? Yeah! because it's rare to find a cool beach at 12pm in Bali.

Direction:

Search Devdan Show Theater in waze. Once you reach there, you will see parking lot for motor bike and then go straight till a gate with many big trees inside. That's the beach.

Welcome to the Paradise!

It is a wonderful beach ever! Well i found paradise in Padang-Padang Beach. So far Padang-Padang Beach is the best beach i ever visited in Bali. The suitable sentence to describe the feeling is, "Definitely I will come back again!"

 What impressed me actually?

Scenery? No!

People? No!

Surfing? No!

then what?

 Well, if i compare the scenery, i have to say that the sunrise in Sanur Beach and 

the blue sea in Bluepoint Beach are much better than the scenery in Padang-Padang Beach.

Then people? Yeah, actually it's quite crowded. 

You may find many foreigner and local people here, but it's not crowded as like as Kuta Beach.

How about surfing? 

I think the neighbor beach, Bluepoint beach is much suitable for surfing than Padang-Padang Beach. The wave here just so so only.

Then what impressed me?

"Peace of the Beach"

Sunshine, sky, wind, sands and sea are working perfectly.

 [Sunshine of 4.30pm] Personally i don't like come to beach on hot day. 

If you like to do sun tanning, you may come here earlier at noon. 

But if you don't like hot day just like me, i suggest you to come here around 4pm. It would be much suitable for you because the sunshine just cover other side of the beach.

[6pm] Even though unable to catch the perfect sunset like Kuta Beach, we still can see the spark of the sunset just like in the picture. 

The cool wind made me wanna stay longer at here. 

Sand here is clean and soft, almost no coral. It would be most friendly with your foot.

Dip into a sea bath. It is clear and no coral. absolutely suitable for swimming!

You must bring your swim suit and swimming, otherwise you will regret.

Heyyaa! Here is the entrance to Padang-Padang Beach. 

Hello, Monkey! Becareful of your belonging, there are monkeys around.
