The 8 most beautiful beaches in Bali

Are you planning a Adventure trip to Bali or maybe you are already there? Then you should not miss this article, because today we tell you where you can find the most beautiful beaches on the island. These 8 beaches are guaranteed worth a visit, because you will be amazed how clear and turquoise the sea can shine. Lying on a fine sandy beach and listening to the sound of the sea, forgetting the thoughts of everyday life and just "be" - these beaches are particularly suitable for this.

Balangan Beach

Balangan is probably one of the most famous and best-visited beaches in Bali. For good reason, because here you can expect crystal clear salt water, which rolls onto the sandy beach at the foot of a cliff. The beach is located in the southern part of the island and can be quickly reached from the popular tourist resorts of Canggu and Seminyak.

The beach stretches for a good half kilometer, glowing in a delicate caramel hue and protected by a lush limestone cliff. The bright blue of the sea offers a beautiful contrast to this and completes this unique scenery.

Refreshing drinks, ice cream or snacks are offered to you in the numerous kiosks on site, which invites you to linger.

TIP: This beach is one of the best places to enjoy sunsets in Bali and is particularly beautiful to watch from the beach as well as from the cliff above.

Blue Point Beach

Ever heard of Pecatu? This region is located in the west of Bali's Bukit Peninsula. There you can find the Blue Point Beach, also called Suluban Beach. The beach is hidden behind rough limestone formations and admittedly: Getting there is not easy, but worth it all the more!

To get to the beach, you have to go down some steps and climb over rocks. Once on the beach, the jump into the water is all the more satisfying. Cooling down in the crystal clear water works wonders and you can enjoy the scenery refreshed. Thanks to the super waves, this beach is also ideal for Surfing. Unlike many beaches in Bali, you do not have to share this beach with countless other tourists, a true exception. 

White Sand Beach (Pasir Putih)

If you plan to visit the beautiful east coast of the island, be sure to make a detour to White Sand beach. This beach is also known as Virgin beach, which probably indicates the less touristy east coast. This is exactly why it is worth going there: in contrast to the beaches in the south, you will hardly meet any tourists. The particularly white beach adds to the paradisiacal setting and creates an incredibly calming place to rest. In addition, the calm waters are perfect for spending long periods of time in the water and letting yourself drift. This is a great advantage over the more turbulent beaches in the south of Bali.

At the white sand beach you have the possibility to rent a sun lounger, to have a massage and to strengthen yourself at the surrounding restaurants.

Nusa Dua Beach

That such perfection can exist at all!

Partly you will hardly be able to believe your eyes how beautiful our world is, because this beach will definitely cause you to be amazed.

Nusa Dua is known for high priced resorts in the area, palm trees and the beautifully maintained grounds. The area was once covered with mangroves, which are of great importance for our environment. Although mangroves and orchids can still be found here in parts, the area is now considered more of a beach area and even for a whole 14km.

Calm, very clean water surrounds here delicate white sand and creates a dreamlike scenery. The beach is especially suitable for families who want to refresh themselves in calm waters. Surrounded by restaurants and souvenir stores I can stay here for a while. In addition, you also have the opportunity to practice various water sports. Another great advantage of the beach is that there are plenty of shady places.

Padang Padang

This beach was made famous by Julia Roberts movie and convinces with the idyllic setting, like so many beaches of Bali. 

The beautiful bay attracts many thanks to the waves Surfer but is also great for soaking up the sun. 

From the water you can see the impressive rock formations that line the beach. Compared to many other beach sections, Padang Padang is very small and therefore often very crowded. However, it is still worth visiting the beach, especially in the early morning hours.

Have you ever been to the sea for the sunrise? Here would be an incredibly good opportunity to catch up. You can see the sun rising behind the horizon, even more beautiful if you let yourself drift in the warm, clear water and become one with nature.

Bingin Beach

Very close to Padang Padang beach is the famous Bingin Beach. Another favorite among Surfers. But the beach is also very popular among sunbathers, because swimming in the sandy bays is a very special experience. However, getting to the beach requires some physical fitness - not to mention the climb. There are steps, but you can definitely count the descent and ascent as a workout. At the bottom, you'll be greeted by brilliant turquoise and blue hues that wash up on the fine sand beach and rock formations.

For sunsets, the beach is highly recommended, especially because at this time many have already left the beach.

Amed Beach

Black volcanic sand and the view of a volcano on the horizon offers the Amed Beach. You will find this extraordinary beach on Bali's north coast, surrounded by beautiful nature. This place is especially suitable if you want to snorkel or dive, because here hides one of the most vivid reefs of the island. The nearby Tulamben, invites you to another adventure, because here you can explore a sunken shipwreck of the US Liberty, which is home to many underwater inhabitants.

The drive north is worth it if you want to explore Bali underwater or escape the busy beaches of the south.

Lovina Beach

Amed Beach is not the only beach in Bali that is surrounded by black volcanic sand. Also on the north coast you will find Lovina Beach, which is the talk of the town. The reason for this are the wild dolphins that are at home here and can be observed in the early morning. It is worth to go to the beach between 6 and 8 o'clock in the morning, because only one to two kilometers off the coast the dolphins make their morning rounds and can be marveled at. Since this beach and the waters are also relatively pristine, Lovina Beach is best suited for swimming through colorful schools of fish, as well as snorkeling and diving to explore the vibrant coral reefs.
