Kelan Beach
Sunset Dinner On Kelan Beach
Kelan Beach is at the northernmost section of Jimbaran Bay, above the fish market. The other sections of Jimbaran Bay are called Muaya Beach (in the very south) and Kedonganan Beach.
Access Kelan Beach via Jalan Segara Madu (Segara Madu Street). Here is a map. You can’t get to Kelan Beach from Kedonganan Beach via Jalan Pantai Kedonganan because of the fish market.
At Kelan Beach you’ll find four brand-new restaurants, the newest addition to the famous seafood restaurants at Jimbaran Bay. One of them is Bawang Merah Beach Front Restaurant, serving fresh & live seafood, and also non-seafood (Balinese duck, chicken, beef and vegetarian). Have a seat on the restaurant’s shady terrace or at a table on the beach with your feet in the sand and enjoy a panoramic view of Jimbaran Bay and the colorful fishing boats in front of you. Perfect for a romantic sunset dinner or candle light evening.

Ngurah Rai Airport Taxi is the only company which has the monopoly to bring tourists out of the airport. So if you haven’t already arranged pick-up you just exit the International arrival gate through its sliding door and turn right where you will find the taxi counter. Tell them where you want to go and pay your fare there. You do not have to pay the taxi driver. Price is fixed and for one car, not per person.
