In good weather and high water (from 1.5m) it can be very beautiful. Padang Padang is also a famous world-class surf spot (+ spot for beginners).

If you go to the right, you can find a quiet place, rocks and woods. On the left side there is a beautiful stone hanging over the water. Tourists love to take pictures there.
