Locations in the clean white sandy beach just below the narrow steep rock walls suitable for enjoying the sunset or just watching the surfers attraction. The waves are high and large much in demand by fans of water sports surfing (surfing), even Dreamland has become a new kind of surf spots for the area of Bali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The origin of the name Dreamland was in this area because there was a housing project and tourist attraction. But the project is delayed and neglected while the villagers Pecatu who once lived as a farmer is hoping the project is finished and they could pursue other business in the field of tourism. That's why the land around the beach called Dreamland (the land of dreams).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The courtyard of this beautiful beach was originally only a small spot of area 900 acres owned by PT Bali Pecatu Graha (BPG) which had a scene in 1996.
