About Green Bowl Beach
Green Bowl Beach is a quiet Bukit cove reached by around 300 stone steps. The white-sand setting and fruit-bat caves are part of its wild character, while the heavy left and right reef breaks make it more appropriate for experienced surfers and confident coastal visitors than an easy family swim.
The return climb is as important as the descent. Carry what you need, check weather and surf locally, and do not start down if the route or a later climb would exceed your ability.
