The 24 Best Things to Do in Bali

"Hidden between dramatic limestone cliffs, this west-facing beach in Uluwatu is a haven for surfers, photographers, and adventure seekers alike. Reaching it requires descending a set of stairs through a narrow, cave-like gap in the cliffs—an effort that is more than rewarded by the beach’s breathtaking beauty. For the best experience, visit during low tide when the shore is more accessible. Keep in mind, however, that the currents can be extremely strong, so swimming or surfing here should be done with caution. As an entry point to Uluwatu's main surf break, it's a popular spot for surfers. Even if you don't plan on catching any waves, you can still explore the coast and enjoy the views. Entry is free, and its proximity to other Uluwatu landmarks makes it a convenient spot for a dose of nature and adventure." - Travis Levius

Suluban Beach has an incredibly beautiful nature, and the rock formations and sea are truly stunning. However, it was very disappointing to see how much uncontrolled construction surrounds the area. The natural landscape feels interrupted by dense and unattractive buildings, starting almost exactly where the rocks end. There seems to be no buffer zone to protect the natural beauty, and unfortunately this takes away from what could have been a truly special place. Seeing such a unique environment affected by poor urban planning was a big disappointment for me.

The beach itself is absolutely stunning and amazing views. The only downside was the walk down—there was strong smell along the path, which wasn’t pleasant. But once you reach the beach, it’s totally worth it. It’s only small beach and it was very big wave so couldn’t go till inside. Only enough for took photos nothing else!

Suluban quickly became my favorite beach in Bali. The setting is absolutely stunning, a true paradise for surfers, with great food spots nearby and some of the most breathtaking sunsets we’ve seen. The slightly tricky access, depending on waves and tide, actually made it feel even more special to me, and unlike many other places, it was never overcrowded. That said, the amount of trash especially in the parking area and even on parts of the beach is absurd and really takes away from the overall impression. Still, we kept coming back because the place is unique and full of charm. Just watch out for the monkeys, on one of our five visits, a tourist had their phone stolen from the beach.

Must visit if you are visiting Uluwatu area. It’s truly a panoramic view from wherever you decide to go in for views - I went to Single fin👍 Highly recommend going down the small alley if you have good knee joints😅 not for the elderly. It’s a narrow, steep, slippery alley going down. And some monkeys too! The beach view is simply breathtaking.. go through the big rocks on the right side when you are down and a less popular beach area shows up.

If you want to watch surfing, this is a great spot. Many locals and semi-permanent surfers ride the waves here. In addition, the beach is definitely "exotic", with the sea rushing into the cave beach. It's quite a hike down to the beach, and you need to be aware of the monkeys, who will steal your water or your coke.

Suluban Beach is one of Uluwatu’s hidden gem spots and definitely worth a visit. The beach is beautiful, surrounded by towering rock formations, creating a dramatic and unique coastal vibe. However, it’s not the best place to relax on the sand, as the beach is rocky and not very soft. To get here, you only need to pay IDR 5,000 for motorbike parking, then continue walking down the cliffside path to reach the beach. The waves can get quite big, and you’ll often see tourists surfing here. If you prefer a more relaxed way to enjoy the sunset, it’s best to sit at one of the clifftop cafés, the view from above is absolutely stunning.
