The making of movie titled Eat, Pray, Love, starring Julia Roberts, is currently being held on Padang-Padang Beach, Pecatu, Bali. The scene-taking will last for a week, starting from October 21 to 27. During the shoots, Roberts was not accompanied by any lifeguard.

Badung lifeguard unit (Balawista) said they have not been contacted by the movie crew to be helping with takes that will be done on the sea. “We haven’t received any special schedule for our guards who are usually assigned on the beach,” Balawista’s Secretary, Ketut Epel said to VIVAnews on Wednesday, October 21.

However, Epel said he has prepared his team whenever they are needed in the shooting. Everyday Padang-Padang Beach is watched by seven lifeguards and one Balawista station head who is on duty from 7am to 7pm. While the shooting takes place, all visitors and traders are not allowed to step into the beach.

Padang-Padang does have exotic views with its beautiful upholding high cliffs. The beach is usually not too crowded which allows the visitors to relax and enjoy the scenery. Some of the cliffs are also used for rock climbing trainings.
