What is Padangbai?
[[File:Street Art in Padangbai, Bali, Indonesia, 2005.png|thumb|A bit of [[street art]] on the way to the beach.]] '''Padangbai''' is a small town in eastern [[Bali]], [[Indonesia]]. It serves as a ferry port for travel to [[Lombok]], [[Gili Islands|The Gilis]] and other of the [[Lesser Sunda Islands]]. It is also a lovely beach town that is popular with those who prefer a small town atmosphere over the large scale beach party that is [[Kuta]]. Besides the beach near the ferry terminal there is a beach just to the north known locally as the ''Blue Lagoon'' and the especially nice ''Secret Beach'' just to the south of town. These pleasant beaches have clusters of small family owned [[warung]]s that will be glad to prepare a meal and serve beer. <gallery> Image:Padangbai White Sand Beach 2.jpg|The white sand beach near Padangbai from the north Image:Padangbai White Sand Beach 1.jpg|The white sand beach from the south Image:Padangbai White Sand Beach 3.jpg|The white sand beach from the Lombok Strait Image:Padangbai Secret Beach 1.jpg|On the white sand beach </gallery> {{coord|8|31.519|S|115|30.224|E|region:ID_type:city|display=title}} {{Asia-stub}} [[Category:Bali]] [[Category:Towns in Indonesia]]
