Bahasa:
Perjalanan menuju Blue Point Beach dari arah
kuta cukup mudah. Dengan menggunakan
transportasi mobil or motor dapat ditempuh dalam waktu 30 menit (asumsi kondisi lancar
jaya). Pantai ini sejalan dengan komplek dreamland di kawasan Uluwatu, dari
dreamland masih terus saja sampai ketemu petunjuk jalan yang mengarah ke
LABUHAN SAIT, setelah ketemu petunjuk tersebut ada pertigaan, langsung aja
belok kanan. Lurus terus sampai ketemu LABUHAN SAIT (Padang-Padang Beach)
& jembatan, masih ikuti saja jalan besarnya sekitar 5 Km lagi sampai ketemu
pertigaan & billboard Blue Point spa & resort lurus aja ke jalan yg rusak, memang jalan masuknya kurang bersahabat. Lurus
saja mengikuti jalan tersebut sampai ketemu parkiran mobil & hotelnya, nah
itu dia Blue Point Beach. Itu baru parkirannya saja, untuk menuju pantainya
kita harus menuruni tangga sampai ketemu celah karang
(gerbang masuk ke pantai) sampailah kita di Blue Point Beach.

Padang-Padang Beach Labuan Sait
Padang-Padang Beach is one of the famous beach which appears in Eat, Pray and Love.
It is located in Pecatu village,10 minutes from GWK (GarudaWisnuKencanaPark).
After i finished swimming and tanning at The Real Padang-Padang Beach, i went to Padang-Padang Beach. We can see Padang-Padang Beach from bridge in main road. I love the real padang-padang more. More quite, and beautiful.
