Kelan & Pantai Kelan / Kelan Beach
Kelan is part of Tuban village, a district of Kuta, Badung, Bali, Indonesia, located south of the airport Ngurah Rai and north of Kedonganan. Desa Adat Kelan has two banjars, Banjar Kelan Desa and Banjar Kelan Abian, with a total of approximately 400 families. Most of them traditionally work as fishermen and farmers, but nowadays, some also work in the tourism industry and at the airport.
Pier and boats
Pantai Kelan / Kelan Beach is above the fish market in the northernmost section of Jimbaran Bay. The other two sections of Jimbaran Bay are Muaya Beach (in the south) and Kedonganan Beach. By the way, Kelan Beach was also the home of Sharkey’s seafood restaurant. Unfortunately, Sharkey’s is no more.
You can access Pantai Kelan via Jalan Segara Madu (Segara Madu Street) or Jalan Taman Sari, or you can just walk on the beach from Kedonganan via the fish market to Pantai Kelan.
Sunset
Since 2011, you’ll find a few new restaurants at Pantai Kelan, the newest addition to the famous seafood cafes at Jimbaran Bay. One is Bawang Merah Beachfront Restaurant, which serves fresh & live seafood (depending on availability) and non-seafood (duck, chicken, beef and vegetarian). Have a seat on the restaurant’s shady terrace or the beach with your feet in the sand and enjoy a panoramic view of Jimbaran Bay and the colourful fishing boats in front of you. Perfect for a romantic sunset dinner or candlelight evening.
