Backed by flash resorts and trendy clubs, Kerobokan's beach is surprisingly quiet. A lack of access keeps away crowds because all the roads running west from Jl Petitenget dead end in developments. You can reach the sand from Seminyak Beach in the south or by walking down from Batubelig Beach.
The most direct access, however, is by waltzing through Potato Head or the W hotel. The surf is more thunderous here than to the south, so be sure to take care when swimming.
