There are many types of beach in Bali, from those with big rocks created by corals or lava to those covered wholly with white or black sand. So depending what you look to do at the beach, there are a number of beaches for you to choose from. Travelers come to Bali for its long stretches of white sand beach, crystal clear sea for swimming, strong waves for surfing and volcanic black sands for sunbathing. But However, I had my own selection of 10 best beaches in Bali.
1. Balangan beach.
Located across from the greens of Uluwatu. To get there you will pass local villages with cattle grazing the fields with local people going about their daily chores. This is a small and quiet beach, best for those looking for a secret hideaway. The ocean currents are strong and the waves high, therefore not recommended for swimming. When It is low tide, it would be a perfect beach for strolling along enjoying the sun while the waves lap on your feet.
2. Padang Padang
Located close to the Uluwatu temple, this beautiful beach is surrounded by big rocks and overgrown plants and monkeys. You would need to get pass the narrow passage and steep steps to this hidden paradise. The beach is covered with huge rocks and small caves for exploration and when the tide is high, it is also good for swimming. Just beware of sharp corals and sea urchins. Recently after Eat, Pray, Love fame, this beach had been more crowded than usual but for now still have most of its beauty and charm.
3. Jimbaran
The beach is more inviting 50 meters away towards the beach cafes. The barbecue restaurants are great at night for fresh fish, Indonesian style, with toes in sand. During the day the cafes serve drinks and simple Indonesian meals.
4. Dreamland
Not quite a secret beach anymore but still slightly ‘hidden’ due to its far-flung location, Dreamland, Balangan’s ‘next door neighbour’, remains a mention on our list. Following the development of the Pecatu Graha and ‘New Kuta’ expansions, much has changed over the recent years. Still a favourite among local and international visitors, Dreamland also remains a favourite surf break. With the concrete and other developments aside, the cliffs, sand and blue still hark back to its pristine days when its moniker came to being.
5. Virgin beach
Perasi Beach, referred to by various nicknames such as Pasir Putih or ‘White Sand Beach’, ‘Virgin Beach’ and simply, ‘Hidden Beach’, is a secluded stretch of coast between two hills that lies between the villages of Bugbug and namesake Perasi, both in the Karangasem regency - approximately 4.5km east of Candidasa. Boasting parasols, sun loungers and various local seafood restaurants, this hidden gem can be an added adventure to your trips to the island’s east shores.
6. Dream beach at Lembongan island
Lembongan is a small island about 7km out of sea from Bali. Dream beach in Nusa Lembongan is known for serene sea lapping on long sandy bays. It is an island with big rocks and small vegetaion with spots of sandy bays. Most people stay longer at this island to explore all the beauty of it. This island is still largely undeveloped unlike the rest of Bali and let one feel the sense of going back in time, just enjoying the natural beach.
7. Blue Lagoon
Blue Lagoon is an international village, a combination of home, studio and shared resort that overlooks the ocean above Padangbai,Bali.
Padangbai is a busy port where most people take the ferry to/from Lombok and onward to the Gilis, Komodo and Flores. With its beautiful setting, small, unspoiled village feel, it must qualify as one of the most attractive port towns in the world. At the northern end of the town sits the eleventh century Pura Silayukti Temple and just beyond it lies the Blue Lagoon, a small white sand beach great for snorkeling, diving and relaxing in the local warungs.
