Virgin Beach

Virgin Beach is a stretch of coast on eastern Bali with white sand mixed with dark pebbles and backed by green vegetation. The shoreline slopes gently toward the water and features different sections with varying sand compositions and beach formations.

The beach retained its character over generations as fishing communities worked the coast and built small settlements. The area developed into a tourist destination only later, but maintained the defining traits of a working fishing community.

The name reflects the beach's remote origins and undeveloped character, which visitors can still sense in the quiet, fishing-community atmosphere today. Local fishermen use the bay daily, and their boats form a natural part of the coastal landscape.

The beach is easily reached on foot from the main road, with marked paths and parking near the entrance. Visitors find toilets, changing facilities, and food options on site, along with equipment rental for water activities.

The waters off this beach are known for a large population of sea turtles that swimmers regularly encounter. These reptiles surface to breathe, creating memorable encounters with marine life during a visit.
