Extraordinary Place To See Sunset Scenery On White Sand Beach of Kelan Jimbaran
27 August 2025First of all, the island of Bali is very well known for its beaches. Especially the white-sand beaches, which are numerous in the southern part of the island. The most famous white sand beach in Bali is Kuta Beach. One of the reasons why Kuta Beach is so famous among tourists is the sunset view. Every day, Kuta beach is crowded with tourists, especially during sunset.
However, for those who have visited Kuta Beach and prefer to visit a less crowded beach, they will find another alternative white sand beach. The question now, which beach in Bali has a similarity in terms of sunset view, like Kuta beach offers. To answer this question, previously I have written about the ten best beaches to watch a sunset in Bali, and you can find the answer to the above question.
In the list of the 10 best beaches to see the sunset in Bali, there is a beach called Kelan Beach. Perhaps some of you do not know about Kelan Beach, but Kelan Beach location very close to Bali International Airport Ngurah Rai, it's next to it. Writing about Kelan Beach reminds me of my favorite place to hang out on the year of 2006. At that time, I chose to spend time at the beach, Kelan, not because of the beauty of the sunset view. However, I want to see up close during airplane landing and take off. Due to the location of the Kelan Beach adjacent to the plane paths (runway) at Ngurah Rai airport, aircraft traffic can be seen very close to Kelan Beach, Bali.
Nowadays, seeing an airplane landing or taking off looks like a regular thing to see. However, how about seeing a plane landing with a sunset view as the background? Kelan Beach is at the northernmost section of Jimbaran Bay, above the fish market. The other sections of Jimbaran Bay are called Muaya Beach (in the very south) and Kedonganan Beach. Kelan Beach was also the home of a fresh seafood restaurant.
Access Kelan Beach via Jalan Segara Madu (Segara Madu Street). Or just walk on the beach from Kedonganan via the fish market to Kelan Beach. At Kelan Beach, you will find a few brand-new restaurants, the newest addition to the famous fresh seafood restaurants at Jimbaran Bay. This development is managed by Bina Usaha Kelan Sejahtera.
