As one of the most secluded spots on our list so far (it isn’t even on google maps!), the only visitors to Pantai Dadap Ayam are the local residents in search of beach vegetation such as the Dadap Ayam herb and seaweed that grow on its concave-shaped rocks.

Resembling Padang Padang Beach in Bali, the Pantai Dadap Ayam is a gallery of odd-looking coral stones with overgrown algae and seaweed. Make sure to take extra caution as they might be either sharp or slippery.

If you don’t like the sun, you’ll love the shade under the rock canopies that line the beach.

Bring a mat and enjoy a picnic on this secret patch of the beach – it’s so quiet that the calming winds will definitely seduce you to an afternoon nap.

Hurry though, a paved road heading towards the Pantai Dadap Ayam is currently being constructed. So although this means you won’t scramble through several bushes and paddy fields, many others may think the same way too.
