Despite being known as a surfing paradise, Suluban Beach maintains an "undiscovered" feel thanks to its unique, cavern-like setting surrounded by limestone cliffs. The white sand beach, informally named Blue Point Beach after a nearby hotel, also features beachside mini caves to take shelter in. Although the waters are safe for swimming, children are not advised to visit the beach as they must pass through narrow pathways and steep stone steps to get there.

Like most beaches in Uluwatu, Padang Padang Beach is a popular surfing spot. The beach, known locally as Labuan Sait Beach, gained a following among non-surfers after it was featured in the hit movie, Eat Pray Love.

To reach the shore, visitors must pass through a hollow rock entrance before going down a flight of stairs.

Every day, the Kecak dance is performed in the temple grounds as the sun disappears into the Indian Ocean.
