Dreamland Beach (Pantai Dreamland) is one of many beautiful beaches along the rugged coastline of South Bali’s Bukit Peninsula. With its limestone cliffs, golden sands, and turquoise waters, this is a popular tourist destination that should not be missed when visiting Uluwatu.
Dreamland Beach Location
Dreamland Beach is also known as New Kuta because it is the beachfront portion of a large hotel/golf community founded in the 1980s and 1990s by Tommy Soeharto, the son of then-President Suharto.
Driving into the Golf course area from the Ungasan / airport direction is simple. Turn right when you see a large statue. After 5 minutes of driving downhill, you’ll come to the beach signs.
Waves in Dreamland Beach
Dreamland is a right-hand peak that consistently breaks into a channel. When the wave reaches the deeper channel after a fun take-off, it quickly becomes mellow. It allows you to do a couple of bottom turns and off the lips.
The left-hander on the other side of the peak is inconsistent, but it retains power and shapes better at times because it does not mellow out into a channel. Paddling back out is more difficult because there is no channel. A left-hander with a shifting peak can hold its shape well and connect all the way to the inside section. The right-hander on that peak can also be a fun long ride, but it closes out more easily and lacks a channel for paddling back out.
There’s a spot with the local indo kids that’s consistent but short, but great for mini barrels and air game practice. Be cautious of the rocks here, as there are a few large boulders visible during low tide.
