There are two sections to Padang Padang beach and this is the larger and less well-known about section. People usually can't see this section of the beach when they're approaching from the bridge but it is definitely the more picturesque one. It is located directly below the Thomas Homestay, a cheap guest house, beside which you'll find the access to the beach which also leads down to a restaurant. It is a long stretch of sand and almost always deserted. It is usually windy over here. There are chairs with parasols for shade. But you can also find shady trees to sit under. the nearby restaurant means you don't necessarily have to bring your own food and water.

• By Car
• Take a bemo, ojek or taxi to here.
