About Mertasari Beach

Mertasari Beach is the peaceful southern end of Sanur — a wide, quiet stretch of white sand and calm, reef-protected water that sees a fraction of the crowds further north. It is a favourite with local families at weekends, and the shallow lagoon and gentle shelving make it one of the safest, most relaxed swimming beaches in south-east Bali.

Right behind the sand sits the Sanur Beach Market, an open-air food court where dozens of stalls serve Indonesian and international dishes at local prices — perfect after a swim. Kitesurfers use the steady dry-season winds off Mertasari, and the flat beach path makes it an easy cycle or stroll from central Sanur.
