Lots of locals come here particularly on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. They come to eat from street cart food vendors setting up on beach, fly kites, swim, watch sunsets, play volleyball, perform ceremonies, get cool, surf, gamble. It's cool to see a place that's just not tourists. The sunsets can be great (but that's every beach along this coast). I had amazing surfs here right off the river mouth /lagoon. On a mid tide and medium to large swell you can get some peaks glassy barrels on a sand bottom. Just up,the beach north is Batu Balong and echo And just a south is Finns /Barewa beach break. Super sand cover reef breaks and sand bank breaks. Also at back of beach heading south is heaps of small beach bars in sand that go off at sunset. Stay near here you won't regret.

It depends on your intention on going to this beach in particular, because from one perspective there isn't much to see.... but you can have some Bintangs, eat street food and chat with locals if that's your style. Really open but super busy on the weekends, especially around sunset time.
