Legian Beach is probably the second most popular area with visitors after Kuta because of its close association with beach life and its parties. Legian Beach is probably the second most popular area with visitors after Kuta because of its close association with beach life and its parties. Indeed, one of Legian’s main attractions is its extravagant nightlife. Another attraction is the white sandy beach filled with tanned wannabe celebrities.
Legian Beach Bali
Tanah Lot
Tanah Lot Beach is a beautiful beach with Hindu temple set on the rock and appointed as the famous tourist destinations in Bali.
Tana Lot Bali
Kudungu Beach
Kedungu Beach is a beautiful black sandy beach located in Tanah Lot Surfing Spot appointed as one of the best surfing points in Bali.
Nusa Lembongan Beach
Lembongan is a small and very pretty island, only 7 km away from the main island of Bali. It is well known for its tranquil sandy bays, which offer a great opportunity for a romantic getaway. This island has very little in common with Bali. It is dry and rocky, and there are no rice fields. Only cacti, snakes, and lizards are enjoying themselves here. Only a few plants can grow here, like corn, mango, and peanuts. Only hardy plants survive in this dry soil in the absence of spring water. The hanging bridge that connects Lembongan with the slightly smaller island Nusa Ceningan is on the southern side of the island.

Tanjung Benoa Beach
Tanjung Benoa, like many other beachside destinations in Bali, used to be a fishing village and an old dock. The development of the peninsula has been very significant as most of the shore-side properties are now hotels, resorts and water sports operators. The remaining mangrove marsh still lies at the western side of the entrance. Tanjung Benoa is located 15 kilometres from the international airport but if you are already staying within the Nusa Dua cluster, it is just few steps away from the west gate.
Tanjung Benoa
Tulamben
Tulamben has become Bali's most famous diving area and therefore where you are most likely to meet internationally recognised underwater photographers and writers. Tulamben Bay, like the rest of Bali, is situated in the richest marine biogeographic zone in the world. Being on the north east coast, the bay receives very plankton-rich waters from the major ocean current that moves from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean. This, coupled with the fact that the three main dive sites provide totally different physical environments, mean that Tulamben contains a stunningly diverse underwater ecosystem.

Bhuana Beach
Bali Bhuana Beach is the perfect getaway with stunning ocean views and the ... for a serene quiet getaway to the island of gods, location in Amed Lipah Beach.
Bhuana beach Bali
Lipah Beach
Lipah beach is the most developed beach in the area (although still very peaceful), located around 10km from Culik. There’s accommodation at Hidden Paradise and slightly after this, Coral View. Both places have large, well-furnished bungalows in lush gardens with pools next to the beach.
There are a couple of restaurants nearby, both with attached accommodation: Tiying Petung has plain tiled rooms with attached bathroom, while next door Wawa Weve, has slightly better verandas in front of the rooms. Both have similar inexpensive to moderately priced menus, offering the usual Indonesian and western food, in relaxed surroundings. Its about 100m to the beach from these places. There’s reasonable snorkeling just off the coast here and, for divers, Lipah Bay is the site of the wreck of a small freighter at 6-12m depth, which is now covered with coral, and other marine life. The reef nearby is rich and diverse.
Lipah Beach Bali
Bias Putih Beach
It is one of Bali's most beautiful beaches. Located between Candidasa and Amlapura, the entrance to the beach road is well hidden, unless you receive specific instructions. A kilometer or so after the hamlet of Bugbug village you will see a small sign denoting "Virgin Beach".
Bias Putih
Nyang Nyang Beach
This beach is one of the secrets of Bali. The narrow, winding busy street, going uphill and downhill, will take you to this beach located at Nusa Dua peninsula. While you are passing by, you can see grazing cows and goats, and there are villagers going about their daily life. After driving for a few kilometers, you will take an even smaller street on your left. You have to be careful not to miss it.
Then you will be going through the small forest. In that forest, filled with exotic flowers, hidden bungalows are built for those seeking to stay incognito and want complete relaxation. At the end of the field you will find a small restaurant with the pool and one of the best views on the whole island.
Nyang Nyang Beach Bali
Balangan Beach
Hang loose with Bali's surf community at Balangan Beach.
When the neighboring Dreamland beach got taken over by bulldozers and chain resorts, the surfers drifted over to Balangan. The long stretch of white sand is flanked by rocky cliffs while the shore is lined by an assortment of warungs (local cafes) serving plates of indo mee and ice-cold Bintangs and cheap non-air conditioned huts.
The agenda at Balangan is simple: surf (if you can), go swimming when it is high tide, build intricate sandcastles -- the sand here is exceptional for doing so -- and laze about in a hammock watching the surfers, young and old, catch the waves.
Reef shoes are highly recommended as the beach has a sharp rocky base and some of it covered in slippery green moss. For the virgin surfers, there are surf schools and numerous freelance instructors who’ll be willing to take you out for a price. Which beach in Bali? From Kuta, take the Bypass Ngurah Rai towards Nusa Dua. Look for the Uluwatu turn off to the right after about 10 minutes, after which, keep your eyes peeled for signs that direct you to Balangan.
Balangan Beach Bali
Geger Beach
You won't get pounded by the waves at Geger Beach. For sun seekers dismayed by some of Bali’s rougher waters, this is a beach you can actually swim in. Situated close to the Nusa Dua golf course, the sparkling green-blue water here remains relatively calm with gentle rolling waves. The sand is thick and soft, packed hard so you can play a game of volleyball or go for a leisurely beach run.
Go at the right time of the day and you’ll see seaweed farmers working between the area from Geger Cafe to Geger Temple. Another big plus? This is one of the few beaches where topless sunbathing is allowed Which beach in Bali? Located five minutes from the Nusa Dua golf course and next to the St Regis Nusa Dua resort.
Geger beach
Bias Tugal
Bias Tugal: Good luck tracking this spot down... here's a hint, it's close to Padang Bai. Referred to as Pantai Kecil (Little Beach), this spot is often deserted, except for the odd adventurous tourist and a couple of the warung vendors. Tucked away near Padang Bai, the beauty of this beach is that it is hidden, accessible only after a 500-meter trek down a rocky path.
What greets you at the end of your mini-hike is a glorious body of water in varying shades of blue and turquoise fringed by a strip of fine white sand and swaying coconut trees. The current here can be strong, for the non-experienced swimmers, make do with playing in the waves and soaking up the sun in relative solitude as you watch the boats entering and leaving Padang Bai for Lombok and the Gili Islands. Which beach in Bali? From the ferry terminal of Padang Bai, head east up the hill and keep walking till you come across an exposed bit of the bay.
Bias Tunggal Beach Bali
Amed Beach
Next Best Hidden Beaches in Bali is Amed. Amed: A quieter, less touristy bit of Bali. Situated about two hours drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport is Amed, where the sand is of the coarse black volcanic variety. Instead of surfers and surf boards out on the water, the beach is lined with traditional outrigger fishing boats.
Those who venture up to Amed are usually keen to get in some quality diving as there are a number of wrecks located at nearby Lipah Beach and Tulamben. For snorkelers, the coral and underwater life in Amed is abundant. While the prettiest bays are found at Jemeluk and Lipah, the whole stretch of coastline presents a different, more natural image of Bali where the locals' primary source of income lies in salt mining and fishing. When night falls, take a walk on the beach and look up to the sky bathed in stars.
