Bali is the most famous for its beach tourism. Usually, foreign or local people visit Bali’s beaches to surf because the waves support these activities. Well, this time we will give you information about beach destinations for surfing. Here are the six best beaches for surfing in Bali:
Balangan
Balangan Beach is located on Jalan Balangan, South Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali. Balangan is a popular surfing spot in Bali with an intermediate level of surfer experience. If you are a beginner, it is recommended not to surf here because the waves can reach 4-8 feet high. If you visit Balangan Beach, it is better in the dry season or around April – October because the sea waves are consistent in that month, and the weather is also sunny.
Balian
Balian Beach is not very well known to local tourists but is very well known by tourists from Australia. The waves are pretty high and consistent every year will be more suitable for experienced surfers only.
Balian Beach is not as famous as Kuta, so it’s a great place to visit if you’re looking for serenity. What is unique about this beach is that the sand is black and has a river mouth called the Balian River. The location is on Jalan Pantai Balian, Lalanglinggah Village, Kec. West Selemadeg, Tabanan Regency, Bali. It takes about 1.5 hours drive from Kuta Beach.
