Pandawa Beach
Busy 09:00 AM - 11:00 AM Found on Google Maps 1 Oct 2026
Pandawa Beach is a magnificent coastal destination in Kutuh village on the southern tip of the Bukit Peninsula, historically known as Bali's "Secret Beach." The beach is famous for its dramatic approach road carved through towering white limestone cliffs, lined with monumental stone statues of the five Pandawa brothers and Queen Kunti from the Mahabharata epic. At the base of the cliffs lies a wide, kilometer-long expanse of powdery white sand fronting a turquoise lagoon protected by an offshore coral barrier reef. Visitors can enjoy safe sea kayaking, sunbathing on rented loungers, and dining on fresh grilled seafood at the extensive row of beachfront warungs.
