There are many pristine and beautiful beaches to explore. Be advised that all of these beaches are a bit tricky to find, and access involves many concrete stairs. Sparsely visited Nyang Nyang has a long stretch of white sands hidden away by tall green limestone cliffs. Green Bowl is accessed through the grounds of an abandoned resort and a cave populated with many sleeping bats. Suluban Beach has cliffs populated with cafes and shops, and a hidden beach reached by passing through a large sea cave. You can relax and watch the surfers from high points at almost all the beaches in Uluwatu.

The iconic Uluwatu Temple is perched on the edge of a cliff 229 feet (70 m) above the ocean. It has a pack of gray macaque monkeys, performances of traditional Kecak fire dance, and some of the best sunset views on the island. In the center of Uluwatu is the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park, where one of the world’s largest statues — a 393-foot (120-m) Vishnu riding Garuda — is being constructed. The park hosts traditional dance and concerts.

Accommodations are found along the main roads, or close to the beaches, and may require some searching around to find. There’s no public transportation on the peninsula, so it's best to hire a car or scooter.
