Bali, the capital city of Indonesia is the most popular travel itinerary for locals and tourists from all over the world who love beach life. Here are some of the best beaches in Bali you can visit.
The Nusa Dua Beach is quite contrasting from many other Bali beaches due to the lush green flora and fauna that grows over around here. Tall palm trees, thick wild mangroves, colourful and fragrant trees and orchids seen here give the beach a warm eco-friendly look. The clear endless blue ocean and the golden sandy beach contribute to provide a panoramic location that can be described as paradise. Nusa Dua Beach is a hotspot for swimming due to its low currents and waves and is ideal for snorkelling with crystal clear water. Surfers can enjoy A splendid time heading north or north ends to experience higher waves.
Formerly known as Teluk Kehen or Kehen Bay, Candidasa Beach is a quiet secluded location to enjoy your holiday retreat with your loved ones. The beautiful soft golden sandy beach strip is fantastic for sunbathing and lazing while the shallow waters are perfect for snorkelling and swimming. The coastline here offers a variety of accommodation options with many a Candidasa hotel with the likes of Alila Manggis Bali providing luxury services besides other resorts and great restaurants easily accessible for the convenience of visitors and beach lovers.
Kuta Beach is located further down from Kuta city. This is a haven for surfers due to higher waves and strong currents making it a perfect location for windsurfing. However, Kuta Beach is not the best place to be for swimmers unless they are experienced and professionals in order to be able to handle the high waves and currents. There is great vibe and energy that can be experienced at Kuta Beach that attracts large numbers of locals and tourists and can be seen crowded all the time. Great entertainment livens up the nights with many Kuta Beach clubs throwing energising beach parties. Also the local Hard Rock Café Bali is located at Kuta Beach that helps anyone to eat, drink and party throughout the night and day.
Sanur Beach is rich with beautiful corals and endless golden sand. It is a serene and cocooned beach paradise located at the coast of Sanur Village, south of Bali. The beach stretches several kilometres long with plenty of shells to be picked up by enthusiastic collectors. Ideal for swimming with its mild waves, the sea at Sanur Beach is crystal clear to an extent where you can end up spotting sea creatures like the starfish while walking on the beach.
One of the must visit beaches in Bali located at the border of the greens of Uluwatu. Romantic and honeymooning couples will find this their perfect secret hideaway due to the beach being small and quiet. Strong ocean currents and high waves make Balangan Beach a favourite hotspot for windsurfers as well as professional swimmers who enjoy the rough sea waves. The low tide times are ideal for a stroll along the serene sandy beach.
