directions to get to Pandawa beach, so that the visitors will not be confused to find the location.

Formerly, Pandawa Beach is a hidden and secret beach that was very difficult to access due
to its location in the deep valley and surrounded by the white stone cliff. The sand in this beach is so
white and clean which is combined with a background of turquoise sea. The ambience is still quiet,
serene, and clean. There are no garbages, and if there is any, those are only the remains of seaweed
brought by the wave. The Panorama of the beach is so beautiful and charming. With clean white sand and
bluish-green ocean water, this beach is very suitable for bathing or swimming as the waves break in the
middle of the sea. Because of its geographical location in the east of Bali Island, the visitors can also
