White sand beach - Pura Masuka Bali

 White sand beach - Pura Masuka Bali

One of the secret spots for Bali expats is / was the pristine beach at Pura Masuka on the Bukit peninsula.
Most people, including expats may not know the name, Pura Masuka, but they know the spot. Pura Masuka is the name of the temple located in the center of the south coast on the Bukit peninsula. Looking a map of Bali its the most southern part of the mainland.

Getting to Pura Masuka means driving up Jl. Uluwatu in the direction of Dreamland and taking the side-street off to the left-side when the main road takes a sharp right turn (looking for signs saying Pura Masuka). Ten minutes of following narrow tarmacked roads, which just a few years ago were dirt roads gets you to a parking area next to a new hotel / villa complex. There is now an electric elevator that transports hotel guests down to the beach and a couple of  'beach clubs' on the beach. Back in 2005 for example the only activity on the each would be a couple of tourists and a local fisherman.

Getting down to the beach for those of us who aren't staying in the hotel means descending via a long, slippery set of steps. Its good exercise and the views are stunning.

The beach at Pura Masuka is still virtually unspoilt till now. When the tide is out you have plenty of space to enjoy. This beach is within 30 minutes of Kuta.
