Bubu Beach Bar & Grill

Perched right on the Ped shoreline, this breezy outpost delivers waterfront dining with front-row sunset views across the strait. Snorkelers hit the reef out front at high tide—handing scooter keys to the team for safekeeping—before washing the salt off under the beachside foot shower and heading up to the deck. Regulars swear by the thick dragon fruit smoothie bowls, iced coffee, and crisp fish and chips eaten to the rhythm of crashing waves. When evening settles in, the beachfront swings silhouette against the ocean while live acoustic sets kick off beside cold Bintangs and bowls of house red curry.
