Bali is an island for sun worshipers, for the beach bum to savour chilled vibes, for the adventurer to explore and for the culture buff to be awed. The beaches on the island are nothing short of stunning and are perfect for all the above including surfing. Check out these top beaches in Bali.
The beaches of Bali are connected and although they are differentiated by name it is sometimes hard to identify a break where one starts and the other ends. Legian is right next to the ever-popular Kuta Beach and is certainly no less popular. Go there for the thrills of surfing, and enjoy plenty of the legendary Bali partying vibes. Shopping too is a lure here. The surf around Legian is ideal for beginner surfers to get their bearings; the area is serviced by several surf schools for both board hires and learning your way around the rolling waves.
This is one of the best beaches in Bali for relaxing, surfing and enjoying amazing sunsets. Go there for the bliss of island vibes, far from the usual touristy crowds of other top beaches in Bali. Kedungu is only 7 minutes from popular stays such as Nirjhara, where you can choose typical tropical accommodation if you are looking for a heavenly one bedroom private pool villa Bali has on offer. This beach is all about privacy and soaking up the tropical vibes. There are surf schools if you want to take up the sporty because the conditions are ideal for riding the waves and chilling on the soft black sand. You can even visit the iconic Tanah Lot Temple, seen on most Bali postcards, from hotels near Kedungu Beach. Built on a small offshore rocky outcrop the temple is supposed to protect the island from outside forces. Visit the place with a guide and you can learn more about the iconic attraction's legendary secrets.
Yes, this beach is a tourist attraction that keeps getting more and more crowded each year. Still, the 2.5 km of the sandy shore seems to have enough room to accommodate the curious visitors who love the holiday vibes, the crowds the fun and the good times promised at Kuta. The beach is a good place to visit for a day's trip and then head back to your hotel in more docile surroundings such as the southwest coast of Bali, which is the more popular area to seek accommodation if you want to relax and enjoy the best of the island.
This beach comprises two regions, Double Six Beach and Petitenget Beach. The area is popular for its collection of restaurants and its vibrant nightlife. Therefore, Seminyak is a night owl's haven and another good beach to visit when exploring from your hotel in Tabanan.
Sanur is charming and home to an old fashioned fishing village. Protected by a reef the waters there are calm and ideal for swimming. The beach is gravelly though and consists of coral and sand mix. Nothing to stop you from enjoying a day in the sun though!
