Virgin Beach sits tucked between two rocky headlands near Perasi village. Locals often call it White Sand Beach because it’s one of the few pale-sand stretches along Bali’s volcanic east coast. Framed by green hills and calm turquoise water, this beach offers a quiet alternative to South Bali’s busy coastline. It’s a favorite day trip for travelers staying in Amed, Tulamben, or Candidasa.
🌴 What Makes Virgin Beach Special?
Most of East Bali’s shoreline features dramatic black volcanic sand. While stunning, that sand can get uncomfortably hot. Virgin Beach, on the other hand, offers soft white-gold sand and a classic tropical beach feel.
Even today, the beach still feels like a hidden gem. Weekday mornings are especially quiet, giving you a chance to enjoy it almost to yourself.
You won’t find large resorts or beach clubs here. Instead, you’ll discover simple thatched warungs, a few sunbeds, swaying palms, and the gentle sound of the ocean. It’s the perfect place to swim, sunbathe, read, and enjoy grilled seafood with your feet in the sand. You can also get an excellent massage from local therapists under the trees.
🚗 Getting There
Virgin Beach sits about 45–60 minutes away by car from Amed or Tulamben. The final descent involves a short walk or a motorbike ride. While it isn’t difficult, it’s best to wear sturdy footwear for the path.
