Kubu Beach, Private beach at Ayana Resort in Jimbaran, Indonesia.
Kubu Beach is a shore in Jimbaran shaped by dramatic coral rock formations that line the water's edge and blend with stretches of pale sand. Natural pools appear in the rocks at low tide, revealing tide pools where small fish and sea creatures gather.
This shore has remained unchanged for decades, protected by its location within the Ayana Resort grounds that kept commercial building away. The natural rock formations have weathered ocean waves over time, creating the shapes visitors see today.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices near the beach, maintaining connections to Indonesian maritime customs that span generations.
You can reach this shore by walking through the forest from Goa Peteng Temple, which takes about 30 minutes, or through the Ayana Resort entrance. Low tide is the best time to explore the rock pools and formations along the water.
A natural stone tunnel carved by ocean waves runs through the rocks, offering unusual views of the coastline when you pass through it. Many visitors miss this tunnel even though it creates a unique passage through the rock formation.
