Secret Beach, Nusa Ceningan

We came across Secret Beach about 4 years ago pre-Covid, and it was a beautiful place. We returned again recently, and it is now an abandoned and rubbish filled location that was a very disappointing place, unfortunately.

Secret beach in Nusa Ceningan. You need to follow some small pathways to reach by scooter, then park at the end and start walking down. The beach is very rocky without sand, you can sit in the rocks and enjoy a bit of water to refresh you. You can’t go into the ocean as it has high current and it’s very dangerous. The hotel next door is abandoned and looks a bit scary haha.

The hotel is closed and derelict. You can still ride a scooter there, park outside the gates, and then walk down for a look. The beach is very rough and rocky and not swimmable, and the hotel pool is all dirty, so there's nowhere to swim, but it's still interesting to go have a look. Would have been a nice place when it was open (as you can see from other people's photos)

Whilst the hotel (now derelict) is not currently running it is really unnoticeable when you look at the breathtaking beach that is secluded and calming. Would rate rate some closed toed shoes for this as it is a bit of a trek with the overgrown path.

Didn’t go all the way down as looked dead down there and hardly any beach with tide in. The other beaches nearby are nicer
