Melasti Beach
You'll smell the incense from clifftop shrines before you see the ocean. The access road carves through hundred-foot limestone walls striped with mineral deposits, switchbacking down to a beach where outriggers rest on flour-soft sand. Warung smoke drifts upward as the afternoon light turns the cliff faces amber.

Questions people actually ask about Melasti Beach.
Is Melasti Beach safe for swimming?
Melasti Beach generally has moderate waves suitable for swimming, though conditions vary by season and tide. The water can be choppy during high tide or monsoon season, so check conditions before entering. The beach has a gradual slope, making it relatively safe for wading. However, there are no lifeguards on duty, so swim at your own risk and stay alert. Strong currents can develop, particularly during rough weather. Children should be supervised at all times. The beach is cleaner and calmer during morning hours.
When is the best time to visit Melasti Beach?
Melasti Beach can be visited year-round, but April to October offers the best weather with less rainfall and calmer seas. The dry season provides ideal conditions for swimming and sunbathing. Visit early morning (7-9 AM) to avoid crowds and intense heat, or late afternoon (4-6 PM) for stunning sunset views. The beach gets busiest on weekends and Indonesian holidays. During the wet season (November-March), expect occasional rain and rougher waves, though the beach remains accessible and can be enjoyed between showers.
