Terletak di Desa Kusamba, Kecamatan Dawan, Kabupaten Klungkung, pantai ini menawarkan pemandangan yang indah dengan air laut yang tenang dan pasir putih yang lembut. Keindahan alamnya yang menenangkan menjadikan Pantai Kusamba tempat yang ideal untuk bersantai, sementara warisan budayanya memberikan pengalaman yang berbeda bagi para pengunjung yang ingin lebih dekat dengan tradisi Bali.

Salah satu daya tarik utama Pantai Kusamba adalah komunitas nelayan dan petani garam tradisional yang telah mempertahankan cara-cara kuno dalam mencari ikan dan memproduksi garam. Metode yang digunakan oleh para nelayan dan petani garam ini diwariskan turun-temurun dari generasi ke generasi, mencerminkan warisan budaya yang kuat di daerah ini. Para nelayan di Pantai Kusamba menggunakan perahu-perahu kecil berwarna-warni yang disebut jukung untuk pergi melaut dan menangkap ikan. Perahu-perahu ini, yang berjajar rapi di sepanjang pantai, memberikan suasana yang khas dan menambah keindahan Pantai Kusamba.

Tidak hanya nelayan, para petani garam di Kusamba juga tetap menggunakan cara tradisional dalam memproduksi garam. Proses pembuatan garam di sini dimulai dengan mengumpulkan air laut yang kemudian dijemur hingga menguap, meninggalkan butiran garam yang kemudian diproses lebih lanjut. Pengunjung yang datang ke Pantai Kusamba bisa menyaksikan proses ini secara langsung, memberikan kesempatan langka untuk melihat bagaimana garam diproduksi secara alami dan berkelanjutan. Keterhubungan dengan masa lalu ini menjadikan Pantai Kusamba memiliki makna budaya yang mendalam, berbeda dari pantai-pantai lain di Bali yang lebih berfokus pada pariwisata modern.

Selain sebagai pusat aktivitas nelayan dan petani garam, Pantai Kusamba juga memiliki nilai religius yang penting bagi masyarakat setempat. Pantai ini sering digunakan sebagai lokasi upacara keagamaan, terutama dalam rangkaian upacara Melasti, yaitu ritual penyucian yang dilakukan sebelum perayaan besar dalam agama Hindu Bali. Selama upacara ini, pantai dipenuhi dengan persembahan, doa, dan prosesi umat Hindu yang mengenakan pakaian adat tradisional. Pengunjung yang beruntung dapat menyaksikan atau bahkan berpartisipasi dalam upacara sakral ini, menambah dimensi spiritual dalam kunjungan mereka ke Pantai Kusamba.


Kusamba Beach

Akses menuju Pantai Kusamba sangat mudah, terletak sekitar 7 kilometer di sebelah timur Kota Semarapura, ibu kota Kabupaten Klungkung. Pantai ini dapat dijangkau dengan berbagai moda transportasi, mulai dari kendaraan sewaan hingga transportasi umum. Setibanya di sana, suasana pantai yang asri dengan perahu-perahu nelayan dan gubuk-gubuk kecil tempat pengolahan garam akan menyambut para wisatawan.

Tidak hanya menawarkan keindahan alam dan ketenangan, pantai ini juga menghadirkan kesempatan untuk menyaksikan kehidupan tradisional Bali yang otentik.
