GREEN BOWL BEACH BALI – THE ULTIMATE GUIDE

Green Bowl Beach, also known as Pantai Green Bowl, is one of the best beaches in Uluwatu, South Bali. Green Bowl Beach sits at the base of verdant cliffs next to a small village known as Ungasan.

I have put together this complete guide of Green Bowl Beach including how to get there and what to expect!

 

Have you got travel insurance for Bali? I know that nobody likes to talk about this stuff but accidents can happen and having World Nomads Insurance can save you thousands of dollars if something goes wrong. 

 

HOW TO GET TO GREEN BOWL BEACH BALI

Green Bowl Beach is located on the east side of the Bukit Peninsula in Uluwatu.

If you are coming from Kuta, Seminyak or Canggu it is approximately a 1-hour to 1.5-hour journey to Green Bowl Beach (Pantai Green Bowl), depending on the traffic.

Scooter rental is typically 50,000 IDR per day or you can rent them on a monthly basis from anywhere between 600,000 IDR and 700,000 IDR.

Alternatively, if you are not comfortable driving a scooter, you can rent a car in Bali and head out to Green Bowl Beach on 4 wheels instead of 2.

ARRIVING AT GREEN BOWL BEACH BALI

You will arrive at a large carpark at the top of the cliffs at Green Bowl Beach and have to pay a small parking fee of 2,000 IDR.

Small warungs and convenient shops line the edge of the carpark if you wish to grab a meal and drinks before heading down to Green Bowl Beach.

To access Green Bowl Beach, you will have to descend the 300 odd concrete steps down to the beach.

Mind your hat and any other loose items you may have on your person as the monkeys swinging around in the treetops are very cheeky and can potentially rob you.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT GREEN BOWL BEACH

The hike down to Green Bowl Beach can be daunting at first but once you make the hike down you will soon see why it is worth the adventurous efforts.

A small patch of glistening white sand, no more than fifty meters long, gives you a sense of being on a castaway island. The turquoise water to go with will have you in disbelief that Green Bowl Beach actually exists.

You can wander through the shallow waters and discover how incredibly crystal clear it was, practically so see-through and it seems as if the water isn’t even there at all.

Apart from the pristine sandy shores, Green Bowl Beach is a popular spot for die-hard surfers. The reef break just offshore produces excellent swell and it is far less crowded than the more popular beaches Uluwatu Point and Padang Padang.

On low tide at Green Bowl Beach, you can wander around the caves and further down the coastline to discover other secluded sandy areas and dozens of rock pools.
