From Denpasar, you can reach the beach in about 80 minutes. After your feet step on the beach, you will see the beautiful sea and white sand in there. Suluban's seawater consists of two colors, greenish and dark blue. The shallows are greenish and the seabed are visible, while the deepest sea is dark blue. Furthermore, there is the origin of the word Suluban, it comes from the Balinese word "Mesulub" which means to walk past something above a human's head. The reason is called Suluban Beach is because when we step our feet at the beach, we will meet two high cliffs. The cliff looks like an alley with stairs in the middle that we must pass to reach the beach. 

    For the entrance ticket, we need to pay IDR 20,000 and the parking fee (IDR 5,000 for motorbikes and IDR 15,000 for cars).

In addition to surfing and enjoying the sunset, we can enjoy the wave pool and swimming. Before enjoying the wave pool, we first need to pay attention to the wave height. The currents and waves that pass through the cave opening can be dangerous. If we want to swim, we must be careful and not recommend for children to swim.
