We got to see beautiful sunset upon arriving early and stumbled to this beach because it is the nearest beach from the airport. We think the people who manage the beach need to take action of the trash lingering around the road to the beach. It is a beautiful beach after all if we clean and manage it with great care.

Beautiful beach, great sunset spot. Located just next to Jimbaran beach, but Kelan is more clean, quiet with clearer sea. Tried one of the restaurants named Bawang Merah which is really great.

Very nice climate in the evening. Take coconut water and seat the on the sand. As normal in Tuban, water quality of the sea is very poor. This is not Tuban of Bali. It's located in the East Java.

We had a night flight so we thought we'd take a Grabcar down to Kelan beach to catch the sunset. I mean, I saw all the cool photos of it being near the airport runway and seeing airplanes land and stuff. The plan was have some dinner around the beach and then get a cab to the nearby airport after that
I mean, it is a nice beach and seeing the plans land is pretty cool and makes a nice photo.
BUT HEED THIS ADVICE, HAVE A PLAN TO GET OUT!
The beach is filled with seafood restaurants catered mainly towards tourists. There were busloads of tourists being ferried to the area for dinner. Prices at these restaurants are not great for the budget traveller. There is a fish market with a few stalls catered more for the locals, but many of them require you to buy your own fish at the fish market and bring it to them to cook. It was too time consuming for us who had a flight to catch. Also, many of these local stalls close quite early, like 7pm.
So okay, we thought, lets just get to the airport and find some food there instead. But we had a hard time getting out of the area. All the tourists had their tour buses to bring them back to their hotel or what not, but for us we had nothing. There were no taxis in sight, and we all the Grabcars we got kept cancelling on us (we saw signs that they were not allowed to pick passangers from this area). We walked the dark streets inland to try and find a taxi, but there were none in sight. We thought we might miss our flight.
We finally chanced upon drivers in Bali who'd sit at the side of the road asking tourists if they needed transport (this is a common sight at touristy areas in Bali). We were NOT in a touristy area and I think they weren't really expecting us, but since they saw us they offered us transport at a slightly inflated price but we took it anyway since we didn't have much choice.
So, nice beach but do plan ahead.

This is not really a beach place, but more like a fishing port. The sands are not clean nor the waters. There is a fish market there with a overwhelming pong when the wind blows in the right (wrong?) direction. Many locals go there for barberque seafood, it seems.

Needs a clean up of all the rubbish and then it would be a lovely spot to walk along. It's a shame they don't always have the resources to collect the mountains of rubbish each day.

Kelan beach, located adjacent to Ngurah Rai Bali airport. So that the end can see a variety of air traffic is quite close. A good place to swim, the waves are not great either.

Hi, is the sunrise location at this beach easily accessible? I’m wanting to head there to take photos of the traditional fisherman’s boat in the morning.

hi
This beach is located on the west side of the island, so I don't think you'd be able to catch the sunrise since the sun rises in the east.
