Pantai Purnama, or Full Moon Beach, is a quiet, undeveloped black-sand beach in Sukawati, Gianyar. Come for the sunrise, the sound of waves and a stretch of volcanic sand with few tourists around. Locals also visit to pray by the sea. Small warungs sell snacks and drinks, and parking is available on-site. The waves are strong, so treat this as a place to watch the ocean, not to swim or surf.

Pantai Purnama is on Bali’s southeast coast, in Sukawati, Gianyar. It is close to the By Pass Prof Dr Ida Bagus Mantra. The beach is about 15 km from Sanur and 16 km from Ubud.
A local beach with strong surf
