Mertasari Beach
Sanur, South Denpasar, Denpasar, Indonesia
Mertasari Beach is a verified Sanur-coast outing within Denpasar municipality, and it offers a broader set of seaside activities than a simple strip of sand. Denpasar Tourism’s destination page describes the beach as a place for both sunrise and sunset views, with wide white sand, small waves and the well-known swing photo spot at Dream Island. A separate official tourism article identifies the area as Taman Inspirasi Mertasari in Desa Pekraman Intaran, Sanur, Denpasar Selatan, and describes entry via Jalan Danau Poso. That article also confirms on-site visitor infrastructure including parking access, a wooden bridge into the main area, children’s play space, beach volleyball, and paid recreation such as canoes, stand-up paddle and pedal boats. This is not Denpasar’s defining beach icon, so it sits below the main Sanur shoreline in the ranking, but it is still a worthwhile standalone stop. The official material presents it as publicly accessible and suitable for relaxed coastal time, with calm, sloping water and a clean beachfront setting. Because some facilities and charges are operator-managed, practical details are best checked close to the day of travel. As a list entry, Mertasari earns its place by showing Denpasar’s municipal coast at its most varied: beach scenery, family-friendly space and light recreation, all clearly within South Denpasar rather than the out-of-scope resort belts elsewhere in Bali.
