Beautiful, calm beach. Only downside is the crowd but absolutely worth visiting. There is a fee but that's quite common in Bali.

Cool beach but not a lot of place and difficult to find free sun shades. Very beautiful sea life even close to the beach. Be careful with toilets and showers after 6pm, they could be already closed and no water.
