WHITE SAND BEACH PANTAI PUTIH (WHITE SAND BEACH) IS SET ABOUT A 20-MINUTE DRIVE NORTH FROM CANDIDASA ON BALI’S EASTERN COAST. IT’S ONE OF THOSE HIDDEN AWAY BEACHES THAT GETS A MENTION IN MOST GUIDEBOOKS BUT FEW PEOPLE EVER ACTUALLY BOTHER GETTING TO IT BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A BIT OF TRAVELLING TO REACH. TRULY SPEAKING THE SAND HERE IS NOT WHITE. IT IS CLOSER TO WHITE THAN YELLOW, AND WE ASSUME IT’S CALLED “WHITE SAND BEACH” BECAUSE “CLOSER TO WHITE THAN YELLOW SAND BEACH” IS A BIT OF A MOUTHFUL — BUT IT ISN’T WHITE. STILL IT IS A LOVELY BEACH WITH SUPER FINE SQUEAKY SAND.
