Seseh beach, Beach in Badung, Indonesia
Seseh Beach is a coastal area in Badung with black volcanic sand that runs along the Indian Ocean shoreline. The beach combines natural coastal vegetation with open views of the water, creating a relatively undeveloped stretch of coast.
The area once served as farmland where local rice growers worked the fields near the shore. Changes came gradually as tourism and development began reshaping the coast from the 1990s onward.
The beach holds spiritual meaning for local communities, who perform traditional ceremonies here to honor sea deities and maintain their connection to the ocean throughout the year.
The beach is accessible by car from nearby Canggu in about 15 minutes, with a couple of cafes offering drinks and basic shower facilities. Wear shoes or bring sandals as the black volcanic sand can get quite hot in direct sunlight.
The shoreline attracts surfers for its steady wave patterns while remaining far less commercialized than the beaches found in nearby coastal areas.
