The name is adapted to the characteristic of the beach which is to arrive in the coastal area, you have to go down the stairs and down the hall or a narrow crevice between huge rocks.

The coral reefs even look like a narrow cave as forming an entrance to the coastal area of clear blue water. The Suluban area is not too extensive, as it is also covered with huge coral reefs.

Around Suluban we find many small stalls selling souvenirs typical of Bali, Surfing board rental and Mini Bar. Just a tip, during a visit to Suluban use special sandals or shoes to climb the reef so you do not slip when walking around the beach. There are three points that Suluban visitors can stop by.

The first point is passing through a rock cave that on the edge has a collection of very beautiful sea sand. On this location, we find many tourists, amidst the scorching summer sun sunbathing and playing surfboard. This location is quite hot during an afternoon visit.

The second point to enjoy the beach is in the middle place. On this location, you can see high coastal reef forming a large gulf. When visitors want to enjoy the thrill of high waves they can stay at this location. Do not forget to bring a camera and waterproof protector to capture the moment when the high waves washes over you.

The third location is on the south side of Suluban where we can see a group of rocks that are really stunning and in this area the sun is not so strong. Just make sure you wear proper footwear. To reach this location it is a little bit slippery. There is a medium-sized rock here that you can climb. Background waves are so strong that it can be captured with your camera.
