The narrow streets can sometimes get a little crowded at peak times and parking can be difficult so allow time for this.
Stream empties into ocean near Seminyak/Batu Belig. During wet season, the stream is a major river!
Beach around “Kerobokan”, but most know the area as Seminyak. Administrative areas on Bali are gerry mandered, so sometimes the official administrative name does not match the place name most visitors are aware of.
“Echo Beach” Canggu
Increased in popularity recently due to the vibe from the restaurants built on a cement seawall facing the ocean. Echo beach really isn’t suitable as a swimming or relaxation beach, but has a solid reputation as a surf beach.
The beach is a bit rocky and the sand is blackish and the seawall on which the restaurants are built is not attractive. The surfing attracts a crowd of surfers and watchers, and it is enjoyable to watch the action from the seawall while enjoying the cuisine from the The Beach House or other warungs. The road to Echo beach has become very pitted and is in need of improvement.
North side of Echo Beach, a bit rocky however it is a great place to come and watch the sun going down and enjoy the early evening jazz.
This is a little bit off the beaten track and can get busy sometimes when surf is up!
Dreamland
This is a white sand beach which is very popular with surfers and now has a fully developed hotel.
The old surf beach is gone, replaced with a 15,000 IDR parking lot. Apparently construction on another hotel, the Raffles is on hold due to the global recession.
However the Dreamlands complex has a great bar and pool over looking the beach and you can access the beach via a stair case descending down from the pool area.
On the beach are a few small warungs and bars offering local refreshments and surf hire, sun beds and umbrellas.
The climb down is a little steep but well worth it once you are on the beach with it is tropical white sand.
Balangan Beach
Next to Dreamland is Balangan Beach. Popular with surfers and not as well known as Dreamland. The feeling of this beach is almost Hawaiian.
There are a couple of bungalow style accommodations and most of the surf warungs from Dreamland have moved here. Almost no tourists. Access is a bit of a pain from the Nirmala Store intersection on Jl Uluwatu, but the road is paved.
Padang Padang beach follow on across the bay from Dreamlands and this little beach is paradise on earth. It is both a surf beach and a great place to swim as it is sheltered by a reef so and ideal spot for the surfers and swimmers.
Parking is at the top of the beach and there is quiet a steep staircase down to the beach but the climb is well worth it.
On the beach there are a few warungs offering refreshments and sun beds and at the top is a pizza restaurant offering takeaways.
The shallow waters are ideal to swim and further out on the reef is a surfers paradise.
Bukit Beaches
Kutuh Beach access from the village of Kutuh in the Bukit area through the rock quarries in center. Seaweed farmers are abundant in this area with it is white sand, privacy, and no tourists and is really different. No accommodations and no tourists. This is way Bali was 50 years ago.
“Green Bowl” accessible from the long stairway at the temple next to the closed Bali Cliff hotel. Surfer beach, caves at the bottom of the stairs and monkeys living around near here. Great scenery and adventure. No accommodations. Really a surf spot.
Amed
This is on the north eastern coast of Bali, is a great place to both swim (as there is no surf) and snorkel directly from the beach.
Some beaches aren’t sand though, they can be coral or pebbles so shoes can be of benefit to get to the water. Amed is approximately a 2-3 hours drive from the south of Bali.
Lovina Beach
This beach is a narrow black sand beach with calm water. The beach is lined with a variety of relaxed restaurants. There are very few sun beds on the beach, and the beach is used by fisherman for their jukung.
You can rent a junket to go and see the wild dolphins that live along this section of the cost and it is well worth the early morning call to see the sun rise and watch these magnificent animals play in the wash of the boats.
Most boat owners offer the option to go and have breakfast and then come back to take you oput to the reef to snorkel in the clear blue waters.
The cost of a boat trip is around 50,000- 60,000 IDR per person.
The black sand beaches can feel dirty and the black sand absorbs heat, so its hard and hot on the feet.
Parking is easy at the beach side and access is flat.
However, the views from Lovina beach over to Java are spectacular and it’s worth visiting for this reason alone. Lovina is on the northern coast of Bali and is approx a 3 hour drive from Kuta.
Candi Dasa
This is an unspoiled tourist spot on the east cost and is about a one and half hour drive from the airport.
Here the beaches are black and the tide very high at times so that the beach disappears. A large wall has been constructed to combat the encroaching sea and aid the development of tourist attractions.
This is a place to enjoy a very relaxing, peaceful, romantic holiday. The night life is quiet mainly entailing dinning in the fine restaurants or there is a beer garden and rock cafe with the odd live band.
The shopping in this area is limited and you would be better taking a day trip to Kuta or Ubud.
Snorkeling and diving are very popular here as it is a snorkelers dream. You can rent the equipment from most hotels.
Bali’s eastern most port from where the ferry to Lombok leaves three times a day. The trip to Lombok takes about three hours and costs approx. 8000 – 12000 IDR..
Becoming a popular little stop over, Padangbai offers a few warung and losmen style accommodation as well as some fine snorkeling.
