Padang Padang Beach

This guide to Padang Padang Beach in Bali traces a film crew's bar, built and torn down for a scene where Julia Roberts fell for Javier Bardem in Eat Pray Love, and the ordinary Balinese cove, Labuan Sait, that returned to itself once the cameras left. It follows the narrow crack in the limestone cliff and the staircase locals share with resident monkeys, then turns to the reef break known as Padang Padang Left, or the Balinese Pipeline, host to the Rip Curl Cup. Watch your bag on the stairs, the monkeys treat it as a toll.
