[8] Immediately East of the port, this long narrow beach is bordered by the main street, Jl.

It features several horizontal steps, with some overhangs that create shallow crevices of various heights and good hideout places for a diverse fauna.

[2] Diving: there are 6 different sites, suitable from beginners (mild to moderate currents) to professional divers, very diverse.

It features a protruding reef top with volcanic rock formations, which slopes down to about 30 metres and ends in a sandy bottom.

There is an artificial reef with a small shipwreck, sunk on purpose in 2008 at 18 meters depth, and some Buddha statues.

First, a salt-concentrated brine is made by collecting seawater in buckets and pouring it slowly into wooden basins or vats filled with the black sand from the beach.

The next operation transfers that water to dug-out coconut trunkswhere it evaporates under the sun, leaving the salt to be carefully scraped from the hollowed trunks.

[21][22] This arduous process gives a salt with a unique and distinct flavor which is slowly getting recognized as a typical Balinese product and becoming known around Bali.

[21] Livingseas, located east of Padang Bai just north of the Blue Lagoon Beach, aims at building a 5-hectare coral reef.

Starting in 2019, they use hexagonal steel structures coated with resin and sand, anchored on the seabed close together to maximize coral density and fasten the colonization process.
