Air Jeruk Beach lies about four kilometers from Sukawat, on the southeast coast of Bali. The presence of the old Pura Air Jeruk temple, popular with pilgrims, makes the beach a wonderfully attractive spot to visit. People come from afar to purify their minds and bodies in the water and at the beach-a ceremony called melasti in Balinese. Hindus believe that the sea is the domain of many spirits and that they must provide offerings to these spirits, whilst at the same time pray for health, fertility and well-being.
