This time I visited a beautiful beach on the coast of Tabanan, the Pig Stone Beach. This is a secret beach, an arch of grayish-black sandy stretch with an amazing panorama and peaceful environment. You can enjoy stunning views of the Indian Ocean, rice fields, sacred temples, big waves, and also coconut groves. This place offers an opportunity to refresh your mind and soul.
This spot is situated in Pangkung Tibah Village, Kediri, Tabanan Regency, Bali. This beach is tucked up between Belong Beach and Batu Tampih Beach, just west of Tanah Lot. This spot is easily accessible, about an hour from Ngurah Rai International Airport.
You can reach it through the Jl. Raya Canggu and Jl. By Pass Tanah Lot, next to Jl. Segara in Pangkung Tibah. Then continue on the Jl. Kebo Iwa until you hit the Jl. Pura Dalem. Follow this last one until the end, and you have found it. This can be accessed by car, but it is more convenient to use a motorcycle. There is no specific spot for parking; you can park on the roadside near the cliff.
The beach is situated at the south side, less than five minutes from the main road, the Jl. Kebo Iwa. This beach is still natural, has not been touched by any kind of development. The atmosphere here is calm and serene, a typical atmosphere of the rural environment in Bali with a slow rhythm of life. Around the beach there is still a fertile rice field, most of the people here are still working as farmers.
Along the access road you will pass through vast rice fields, river and cliff, until you finally reach the beach. There is a sign that reads "Pig Stone Beach", made of old surf boards on the access road to the beach.
Arriving at the beach, you will be greeted by a panoramic view of a pristine beach, river, rocks, waves and white sea-froth on the beachside. There is a small temple perched on a chunk of rock called "beji", a holy water shrine. It is truly unique and presents magical vibes along the coast.
On the right side there is another holy temple on a cliff, called Pura Dalem Perang. While on the left is a large river which directly empties into the grayish-black sand beach.
At the beach there is no "warung" or food stall, where you can get some snacks or drinks, so it would be good to come prepared. But you don't need to worry, there are still other alternatives. You can try a dish from one of the nearby cafes, the Joshua District Café. You can fill your tummy here while relaxing and enjoying the view of the lush rice fields.
This beautiful beach not only attracts tourists, but also surfers, both local and foreign to enjoy a fun surfing experience. This is one of the hidden surf spots in Bali, more precisely in Tabanan Regency. The beach offers powerful and fun waves, it can be challenging sometimes. You can surf here on the dry season and work best on mid to high tide.
When other surfing spots are crowded, this can be an alternative. This spot is recommended for intermediate up to advanced surfers. These spots are situated among the famous Bali surf spots, such as: Tanah Lot Beach, Kedungu Beach, and Yeh Gangga Beach.
This spot is also interesting for anglers, a good spot for surf fishing. This beach has beautiful blue water and at the same time as a natural habitat for fish such as perch, whiting, and bream. The anglers casting their telescopic rod around the river mouth or on the east rock. They were spotted here since the morning and waiting enthusiastically. This spot is worth trying and recommended for surf fishing lovers.
The beach is relatively quiet in the morning, not much activity can be seen. This beach is still less of visitors, there are only a few foreign tourists and most are locals. During the daytime it feels hot and also less trees. It would be better to visit in the morning or afternoon when the atmosphere is cooler and a lot of shade.
Visitors can try an activity that is rarely found elsewhere, the horse riding. There is a stable close to the beach, the Kuda P Stables Bali Horse Riding Experience. During this activity, you will be accompanied by experienced guides. You will move slowly and pass through several spots with attractive views, such as lush rice fields, Balinese traditional houses, holy temple, up to the beach.
This is a nice spot to chill-out, or picnic with family, take your dog for a walk and also nice for kids playing sand (accompanied by adults). This spot is also perfect for jogging, biking, morning yoga, sunbathing, taking photos, or dirt bike. This spot is not recommended for swimming and wading due to big waves and strong sea currents.
The stunning views of the beach with the quiet atmosphere sometimes keep us from leaving. If you want to spend more time or stay overnight, there are several beach villas near the location that can be an option, such as: Villa Vedas Bali, Caz Villa Bali, Coconut Corner B&B, or Villa Asmara By The Sea.
The beach is situated on the West Coast of Bali and is blessed with a magnificent sunset. This creates a relaxing and romantic atmosphere along the coast. Every visitor who comes will be amazed by its beauty. You can spend time here, relaxing or have a serene walk along the coast while enjoying the laid-back feel and cool sea-breeze.
