The Beaches
of Bali are in one word, gorgeous! 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. There is one for everyone! Bali has many great beaches. They are good for swimming, surfing, or just lounging on the sand. Bali beaches range from palm-fringed white sand coasts on the island’s south such as
Kuta, till the black sands on the north and western shorelines. The island of Bali is surrounded with the line of beautiful beaches.
Sanur
On the south-eastern side of Bali. Sanur is
favourite of many visitors for its old time flavour and local feeling. There is a paved walkway along the beachfront which is great for early morning walks. Sanur is an excellent spot to watch the sun rises, as you jog along the white sandy beach. Being one of the first resort developed in Bali, Sanur maintains its traditions. Only a stone thrown away from the beach, ancient temples stand as solemn as they have been in centuries past. Some parents prefer the beach at
Sanur, because it's quiet. It makes the beach a good place for small children to play. The beaches are long and wide, the sea is quite calm and seawater is warm. The white sand beach is sheltered by a reef.The beaches of Bali have always to do with waves, time and time again. And they vary in size. Near Nusa Dua you will find smaller waves, which are good for novice surfers.
The wildest of waves are challenges for the most experienced surfers. Yeh Saneh in the East, Uluwatu in the South, and Medewi slightly to the West, are all excellent places for them to surf.
Kuta and Legian Kuta is surfing, bars, clubs and nightlife. Practically on the opposite side of Sanur are the beaches of
Kuta and Legian stretch. It's considered Bali's most famous beach destination. Kuta Beach is also minutes away from the Ngurah Rai International Airport in Tuban. Mostly the young people comes to the Kuta beaches to study “how to surf” in the afternoon, and at night to break away from the full program. Traffic jams do not stop here, even at night.
Kuta Beach has witnessed a transformation over the past years due to the rise of various accommodations, dining and shopping options.
Jimbaran Jimbaran is a rustic, charming fishing village best known for its beautiful curving bay. The bay itself has a pleasant white sand beach and is very safe for swimming. The three clusters of grilled seafood restaurants on the beach are a major tourist draw in the evenings, as is the truly stunning sunset.
Jimbaran Bay is fringed by one of the best beaches in Bali. The sand is fine and white, and the calm waters make it very suitable for swimming, children and adults alike. The southern end of the beach close to the Four Seasons Resort is the quietest, but the whole stretch is very pleasant indeed. This is a great bay for swimming with perhaps the safest waters in the whole of Bali. You will find lots of local children come to beach to swim in the evenings - a sure sign that the waters are safe.
