At the Bukit's southern edge, past Ungasan's villas, a concrete stair drops 340 steps to a pocket of white sand between limestone caves. Green Bowl earns its secrecy the same way Nyang Nyang does — vertically.
Getting down
The stairway is honest work — 340-ish steps with monkey escorts (hold your sunglasses) and increasingly good ocean views. The beach below is compact: white sand, bat-inhabited caves for shade, and at low tide the green-tinged reef shelf that named the place. No warungs below most days; carry water.
Tides decide everything
Low tide: sandy floor, rock pools, room to lay out. High tide: the sea takes most of the beach — check charts and go on a falling tide. Surfers rate the right-hander offshore on solid swells, but access and currents keep it an experienced-only, right-conditions wave.
Green Bowl vs the other stairs
Versus Nyang Nyang: Green Bowl is smaller, shadier and slightly easier; Nyang Nyang wins on sheer space. Versus Melasti: no contest for convenience — Melasti wins family days, Green Bowl wins solitude-per-minute. Collect all three across a stay and you've read the whole south coast. Melasti guide →
From Padang Padang
Around 25–30 minutes east from Casa Padang Padang Villa Mochi Casa Seashell · Coming Soon — the far edge of the villa's beach radius, best paired with Melasti or a Nusa Dua lunch rather than done alone. Morning visits beat the heat on the climb back.
