Taking its name from the temple up on the cliff, the Pura Dhang Kahyangan Gunung Payung, this beach isn’t the easiest to access, but is definitely worth getting to. Approach the cliffs past the temple and look for a long flight of steps that lead down - about 300 of them - and remember that you’ll have to climb all those steps back up. The remote location and the difficult access keep both the normal number of tourists and vendors away, creating a Hidden Gem. There are usually very few people here. The reefs out in the water create a natural wave break, which means these crystal clear waters are relatively calm. There is a small cave here too. Obviously, this is not a good beach for watersports.

• Drive to here.
• Come by taxi, bemo or ojek.
