A quieter cove a short walk from Padang Padang.
The place
Thomas Beach is the overflow valve for this stretch of coast: a long, unfussy beach just around from Padang Padang, reached down a steep flight of steps, with enough room to spread out.
What to expect
A calmer scene than the famous beaches, warungs for food and drink, and surf offshore. People come to sit, swim when the tide allows, and stay for the sunset.
Good to know
The stairs are steep, so mind your footing and carry water. It is quieter on weekdays. Bring cash for the warungs.
Nearby
Padang Padang, Bingin and Impossibles are all close, so it slots into a beach-hopping day on the west Bukit.
