Nyanyi Beach, still unknown to many, could well become a popular alternative to witness a perfectly wonderful sunset. Sunset watching in Bali is very popular and on many visitors list of things to do. However, currently most are only familiar with Kuta, Jimbaran and other such sites in southern Bali as the favored places to view a great sunset.For those who love a busy hectic life, Kuta, Seminyak and Canggu Beach may well be good options for sunset watching. However, those who want to escape the overcrowded beaches and restaurants, as well as the noise of Kuta, may prefer the pristine beauty of Nyanyi Beach, especially when the sun goes down.
Located just 1 kilometer east of the famous Tanah Lot Temple in Tabanan, Nyanyi Beach faces the Bali Strait and has a view of the eastern edge of Java, toward the town of Banyuwangi. Access to Nyanyi Beach is still undeveloped; the road is quite rough and rocky and has no asphalt covering. Nyanyi Beach is a 2-kilometer long stretch of coast with black sands and high waves, with an approximately 10 meter-high rock cliff on the right-hand side. The beach is still almost “virgin”, with no signs of development. It has not become a surfing paradise yet, or a safe swimming location for visitors. No beach lifeguards are on duty to ensure the safety of those swimming, despite the growing number of people coming to the beach during weekends. People come just to spend their leisure sitting on the sand, playing with their children. So, if serenity and peace are what you are looking for, forget Kuta Beach and come to Nyanyi Beach instead to witness that breathtaking sunset moment.
