Location

Geger Beach is located in the southern part of Bali Island, exactly in Peminga village, Sawangan, Nusa Dua. Even a bit hidden, this beach is not too hard to find. From Kuta, you could follow the main road heading into Nusa Dua. In the last traffic light before the gate heading into Nusa Dua Tourism Area, an exclusive complex owned by Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC), just turn right. If you find a sign written “Pantai Geger”, do not follow it.
