Soka beach is located on west Bali around
10 kms west to Tabanan city. The place is on the traffic
between Gilimanuk and East Bali. So the place is used
as a cooling machine stop beside it is popular for younger
generation as the week-end and holiday sight seeing. There
is a restaurant in front of the beach and you can enjoy
the lovely black sandy beach while you can enjoy your
meal or drink.
A public areas have been built for shading and parking.
The beach is not special, consist of coral and black stones,
the only people like there is the sound of the wave of
Indian ocean.
The situation is almost the same as Pasir Putih beach
in Situbondo, East Java. But the waves at Pasir Putih
beach are not as big as they are at Soka beach and it
is adjacent to the edge of forest of Soka beach is not
far from the wet rice field. But, both of them have beatiful
and interesting view for you to visit. One of interesting
places is Payan beach. This beach is at the Western part
of Soka beach. It is separated by a small river. If the
tide falls, you can pass away. It will be easier if you
pass the highway, it is about 50 meters before Soka beach,
to the right. This way directs to Luhur Sarijong temple
which is located in Payan beach, which has parking area
and is big enough place to take a rest. The place also
has thousands of coconut trees, which make it a shade
place. This places is high enough, so that the view of
Soka beach looks beautiful.
