✈️🌅 Where the Sky Meets the Sea: Sunset & Plane-Spotting at Sekeh Beach



Among the countless beaches scattered across Bali, Sekeh Beach stands out—not for luxury resorts or party scenes, but for a rare and unexpectedly magical experience: watching planes glide over a glowing horizon as the sun sets into the sea.

Tucked just north of Ngurah Rai International Airport’s runway, Sekeh Beach offers a direct, unobstructed view of aircraft as they take off or descend. For aviation lovers, photographers, and curious travelers, this is a one-of-a-kind vantage point where the peaceful rhythm of the ocean merges with the modern drama of flight.

The ideal time to visit is late afternoon, between 4:30 PM and 6:30 PM, when the sky begins to shift into breathtaking shades of orange, gold, and pink. As you sit by the shoreline, the roar of jet engines becomes part of the background symphony—gentle waves in front of you, and silver planes soaring overhead, just low enough to feel close, but far enough to remain serene.

Bring your own beach mat or rent one from friendly local vendors. Order a grilled corn cob or a chilled young coconut from a nearby warung, and make yourself comfortable facing the western horizon. Whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner, or in a small group, this is the kind of slow, meditative experience that stays with you long after the moment has passed.

And unlike commercial beaches with beach clubs and curated sunset packages, Sekeh Beach lets you enjoy this spectacle without crowds, noise, or cost. It’s just you, the open sky, the sound of surf, and a front-row seat to one of nature’s most poetic collaborations with modern technology.

In a place like Bali, sunsets are everywhere—but only at Sekeh Beach do you get to witness the poetry of the sky, painted in gold, pierced by the flight path of dreams.
