The secret treasure that Bali refused to tell the world until a few years ago was safely tucked behind a protective range of limestone. The access path to the stretch of coastline and the tiny livelihood that has now sprung up around Pandawa or Pantai Pandawa as the locals call it was created in the recent past, which is the only plausible explanation for it to be a late bloomer. Much of Bali advanced into a touristic hot spot and a holiday favourite many years ago; hence the area has many a Bali golf resort, incredible restaurants, plenty of culture and music, outdoor activities both by the beach and along the rivers. Renowned names in the hospitality industry such as Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort built domiciles for these discerning travelers and Bali was drawing its generous portion of holidaymakers even before the dawn of the Pandawa era.
The beach is rocky and rugged thanks to the limestone formations, which makes it different to all the other coastal areas of Bali. The ocean waves are a greenish blue, which one would argue as typical of Indonesian seas, but one glimpse would tell you that those ravishing and irresistible waves are one of a kind. The green touch blends in as farmers engage in seaweed cultivation in the area and the sky that meets the ocean at the horizon must add some pearly blue effect to the water to make it reflect such gorgeous hues.
There is only one proper access path from the rest of Bali to Pandawa; once you cruise down this street you would find some crimson umbrellas along the beach where you could stop for some snacks, ice cream and seafood. The waves become conducive for a swim, a spot of surfing and kayaking on mild days, but surfing is exclusively for the advanced surfers.
