Jasri Beach
Beach in Subagan (East Bali).
Jasri Beach is a stretch of black sand and pebbles at Subagan, a few kilometers south of Amlapura, backed in places by a rock seawall, with fishing boats drawn up on part of the shore. Local and foreign surfers ride its right-hand break, which is best left to experienced surfers, and the waves, currents and rocks make swimming risky in many spots. Local families come to relax on the shore in the late afternoon, and food stalls are found along the beach.
