Padang is hollow, fast and damn shallow. Make the section and you’ll be kicking out in the channel with a smile. If you don’t make it, you just hope there’s not a another behind. Photo: Austin Robertson
Spending your Thursday at a beach in Bali doesn’t sound too bad, right? Padang Padang beach is the perfect place to relax, soak up some sun and enjoy a cold beer. Walking down the stairs, you’ll be greeted by monkeys on either side. Once you hit the sand, plop your bags down and enjoy the view of the surrounding cliffs. Oh, and the waves here aren’t half bad if you’re keen on surfing. Here are a few photos from my swim out to Padang.
Enjoy.
