Holidaymakers coming to Bali will always have one incredible thing to look forward to – the beach! Bali is blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, with every area or neighborhood offering their very own beaches with unique characteristics or features.

Uluwatu

Best beach in Bali: Uluwatu

In Uluwatu, on the island’s southernmost limestone peninsular, you’ll find beaches with sparkling white sands and incredibly clear blue water underneath soaring clifftops. The waves here are large and the water rough – a big plus with surfers. The most visited ones would be Padang Padang Beach, Balangan Beach and Dreamland Beach. Those keen on climbing up and down a few hundred steps can go ahead and explore Green Bowl Beach, Thomas Beach and Pantai Gunung Payung.

Nusa Dua

Best beach in Bali: Nusa Dua

If you’re looking to relax in an upmarket, resort-like environment, then head to Nusa Dua for soft and powdery, white sand beaches with gorgeous clear blue water which is great for swimming. Surfing lessons are also available; just head to Geger Beach near Water Blow for a one-of-a-kind experience. Nusa Dua is also home to a great variety of restaurants and shops, so don’t forget to indulge in some delicious dining and shopping before and after visiting the beach!

Sanur

Another great area with beautiful beaches and calm, shallow, clear water is Sanur, a laid-back coastal town located on the southeast corner of Bali. The beaches here are all interconnected to one another via a long stone pathway lined with great restaurants, cafes, beach clubs and shops. Visitors can go cycling on the pathway or try some canoeing or watersports while here.

Jimbaran

Jimbaran Beach, Bali

Foodies who love a good sunset view and a beautiful beach experience must not miss out on visiting Jimbaran. Here on this stretch of sparkling golden sands, you can enjoy a leisurely relaxing walk, soak up the sunshine, swim and unwind on the sparkling shores. When the sun sets, be sure to head to one of the many seafood restaurants that line the coast for fresh seafood, hot off the coals!

Kuta

Popular Beach in Bali: Kuta

The legendary Kuta beach is a must-do at least once while you’re here in Bali. It’s usually busy and crowded but there is plenty of room for everyone. On a clear day, from the slightly curving golden coastline, you can see the magnificent GWK statue in the distance to the west and Bali’s majestic range of mountains far to the east. Kuta beach is also one of the very best sunset spots in Bali. Come by and witness it for yourself!
