Padangbai, on the ground

Riding in Padangbai, honestly

Four things worth knowing before your first ride here. Who rides here: Gili and Lombok ferry users, divers.

Roads

What the roads are like

Winding coastal road with long climbs, sharp blind bends and sections damaged by landslides. Very few lights after dark. Beautiful but demanding — this is not a 110cc route.

Police

Checkpoints and paperwork

Light presence, occasional checkpoints near Amlapura and Padangbai.

Parking

Where to park

Free almost everywhere. Dive sites have informal paid parking.

Fuel

Filling up

Stations are rare east of Candidasa. Fill the tank before the coast road; kiosks are the only option for long stretches.
