Geger Beach entrance fee and access

The beach is public. The main entrance usually charges around IDR 5,000–10,000 per person, sometimes just parking — about IDR 2,000 for a scooter. Cars often park at nearby resort car parks.

A public path leads to the sand beside one of the big resorts. Part of the shore is taken up by resort loungers for guests, but the beach at the water's edge is open to all.

About Geger Beach

Geger is a cove south of the Nusa Dua resort zone, in the Sawangan area, also known as Geger Sawangan. It's pale sand, turquoise shallows and a reef that keeps the waves at bay, so the water near shore is almost always calm.

On the rocky headland above the beach stands Pura Geger, an active temple visited by locals. The path by the temple gives views over the cove and sea. At low tide the water recedes, revealing seaweed plots in the shallows.

Things to do

  • Pura Geger on the headland and the view from the path.
  • A swim in the calm cove.
  • The low-tide shallows with their seaweed plots.
  • Beach cafés for fish and cocktails.
  • Mengiat Beach — 4 km north.

We’ll draw it on the map on foot and by taxi; metro and buses open in your maps app. Your location isn’t stored.

More tips

  1. From central Nusa Dua — about 5–6 km south on Jl. Nusa Dua Selatan, 10 minutes.
  2. From the airport — about 15 km; from Kuta — about 21 km, 30–50 minutes.
  3. Taxi, Grab, Gojek or scooter; search 'Pantai Geger' in your map app.
  4. Mengiat Beach is about 4 km away and the main Nusa Dua beach about 6 km.

When to go and how to spend the day

Come in the morning at high tide: the water reaches the sand, the cove is calm and the sun isn't yet fierce. This east-facing shore is a sunrise spot; at sunset the beach falls into the headland's shadow.

A typical Geger day: a morning swim, a walk to the headland temple, a fish lunch at a beach café, then shade or a hop to Mengiat or the main Nusa Dua beach. Jimbaran's seafood dinners are 20–30 minutes away.

Is Geger Beach worth it?

Yes, if you're staying in Nusa Dua and want somewhere quieter: calm water, white sand and a headland temple make Geger one of the nicest beaches on the south-east coast.

YesGo's take: it's not worth a special trip from Kuta or Canggu — Nusa Dua has plenty of similar calm beaches. Low tide makes swimming awkward, and resorts take up part of the shore.

How we checkedThe cove, the calm water inside the reef and the headland temple are described by travel guides and the Badung Regency tourism portal. Sources range from a free public stretch to IDR 5,000–13,000 entry, with scooter parking around IDR 2,000, so it's marked unconfirmed. Seaweed plots at low tide are visible in photos of the beach; sources give no further detail. Temple etiquette follows general Balinese rules. Distances are OSRM routes without traffic from central Nusa Dua (5–6 km), the airport (15 km) and Kuta (21 km), and to Mengiat (4 km).
