Extraordinary Place To See Sunset Scenery On White Sand Beach at Kelan Beach Bali
17 June 2024First 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 Bali island. The most famous white sand beach in Bali is Kuta Beach. One of the reasons why Kuta Beach is so famous among tourists, due to the sunset view. Every day Kuta Beach is crowded with tourists, especially during sunset.
However, those who have visited Kuta Beach and prefer to visit the less crowded beach will find another alternative white sand beach. The question now is, which beach in Bali has the similarity in terms of the sunset view, that Kuta Beach offers?
In the southern part of Bali Island, several beaches have white sand and exotic views, such as Jimbaran Beach, Padang Padang, Uluwatu, Labuan Sait. A beach that offers beauty like Kuta can be found at Kelan Beach.
In the list of 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's location is very close to Ngurah Rai Denpasar International Airport, it's next to it. Writing about Kelan Beach reminds me of my favorite place to hang out. 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 Kelan Beach adjacent to the plane paths (runway) at Ngurah Rai Denpasar Airport, aircraft traffic can be seen very close to Kelan Beach Bali.
Nowadays, seeing airplanes landing or take off, it looks like a regular thing to see. However, how about seeing a plane landing with a sunset view, in the background? Kelan Beach is located 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. BTW Kelan Beach was also the home of Sharkey's seafood restaurant, unfortunately, Sharkey is no more.
How to reach Kelan Beach?
Kelan Beach is easy to access because located near Jimbaran and Kuta. The road condition is also good. During the high season holiday, the traffic condition will be a bit busy, because many of visitors are heading to Jimbaran and Kelan Beach to enjoy the atmosphere while having the fresh seafood. 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 seafood restaurants at Jimbaran Bay. It takes about 20 minutes to drive from Kuta and Nusa Dua area.
