About Pandawa Beach

Pandawa is one of the most-visited beaches on the Bukit — a wide white-sand crescent carved into the limestone, with massive Pandawa statues lining the cliff road on the way in. The reef-protected water is calm, warm and waist-deep close to shore, making it one of the only Bukit beaches truly suitable for kids.
