"We are now going to the Secret Beach," said Gede as he took the van off the main thoroughfare and drove through what looked like a housing estate. He stopped the van at a small table under a picnic umbrella where two Balinese collected the road toll.
"Over here, the residents of a housing estate are allowed to collect toll. This money is to compensate the community for the inconvenience caused by traffic passing through." Gede explained.
We passed cut mountains very much like the one on the right until we reached Pandawa Beach, the so called Secret Beach except that it wasn't a secret beach anymore for the place was teeming with tourists.
Holes like this were cut out of the mountain to house the Hindu idols.

According to Gede, the plan is to make this stretch tell the tale of the Mahabharata. A sacred spot. O-Wait! I might have got this wrong. Gede might have mentioned "Sacred Beach" which I mistook for "Secret Beach."
