It is one of the hidden beaches in Bali. Perasi Beach is also known as “White Sand Beach” or “Virgin Beach” and is located in the Karangasem regency in East Bali. If you’re looking to get away from the crowded beaches like Kuta and Sanur in the south, then this beach is for you.
No hotels, villas or any other tourist accommodations are visible from Perasi Beach, only views of Gili Biaha on the horizon. There are a couple of food stalls and shops that offer local food, snacks and beverages for visitors, and it’s also possible to rent an umbrella and sun loungers for the day.
Located about 4.5 km east of Candi Dasa, Perasi Beach is about one and a half hour’s drive from Denpasar. Follow the Jalan Raya Candidasa-Bugbug main road to the village of Perasi and look out for a dirt road opposite the village’s Pura Bale Agung temple that leads to the beach.
Signs may display various names such as “White Sand Beach”, “Virgin Beach” or “Pasir Putih”. It’s then a one-kilometer drive down a bumpy track to the beach, where parking is available under shady palm trees.
