Secret Beach no more a secret

On Monday. 21st of May i went to a beach in Kutuh village, southern Kuta. I knew this beach from a Norwegian friend, Ina who have visited this beach last year when she was in Bali. she went there with Andrea and some balinese friends. She told me that there is no people at the beach and it look like a 'virgin' beach without any touch from people. Its called Secret Beach or now called Pandawa Beach.

Its kinda lame for me as Balinese i didnt know where the beach is. But two weeks ago I accidentally went to the villa on the top of the beach. The next two days i went to the beach  with two others.
Well It was not as i expected. On the way to get to the beach, there was no traffic at all, it was like going to the place that is not occupied. I thought it will be no people at the beach. But there is a restaurant(with no customer), some small shops and many fishermen were fishing, some people work on seaweed farms. It seemed the restaurant and small shops are owned by local people. They may think the beach would be famous in some years later. Yes they are right.

Before getting to the beach, now it's built some statues inside the cave in the white big rock. The streets are under construction to be improved. Look at the situation, I more and more believe that Southern Badung regency is much exploited. It reminds me to the giant Mulia Resort in Nusa Dua. As a local im stunned thinking how Bali will be in the future.

This writing may not providing you information about the place i visited. But yeah it gives you a slice description  of situation in Bali as gold quarry for investors.
