We got to know the best beaches in Bali with light-colored sand. Some of them are suitable for swimming, while others are suitable for surfing. Everyone will find the perfect beach for themselves.

The island of Bali in the minds of our travelers seems to be a kind of paradise where you can renounce the busy world and experience tropical happiness. This is true, but to fully enjoy your vacation, you need to carefully choose the right resort.

We will tell you about the most popular beaches of Bali, explore the northern and South coast islands and try to understand where it’s worth stopping and where not. In addition, you will find the top 3 most beautiful beaches on the island. Let's swim!

Best swimming spots in Bali – where to look

Bali is a stunning island, but you don’t need to have any special illusions about this place. Get ready for the fact that the postcard landscapes will not match what you saw in reality. Many people are disappointed in Bali, calling it a noisy, dirty and boring island, but this is only part of the truth. It’s just that people who went on vacation chose a resort that was not theirs. To prevent this from happening to you, read our article.

Swimming schedule in Bali depends on the tidal schedule.

Most of Bali's beaches are either for surfing or swimming. Combining these activities is problematic, since surfers need a high wave, and ordinary tourists need a gentle and safe descent. You will have to understand the following things:

  1. Almost all beaches are municipal (free entry, no order).
  2. Every year the coast becomes dirtier.
  3. You will constantly encounter locals.

And where are the best beaches for swimming, you ask? They are. You just have to search thoroughly.

South Coast resorts

Bali is washed by stormy waters Indian Ocean, so rest will depend on the tide schedule. There is also a significant difference between north and south, which we will now talk about.

The southern tip of Bali is replete with golden and white sand spits. The following resorts are worth paying attention to:

  • Bukit Peninsula (elite beaches of Balangan, Padang Padang, Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Dreamland);
  • southeast (Padang Bai, Sanur);
  • southwest (Canggu, Legian, Kuta).

Holiday conditions on the elite Bukit depend on the season. In the summer, locals clean everything up in preparation for the influx of tourists, but in the winter you'll encounter algae and trash.

To get guaranteed pleasure from the calm waters washing Bukit, go to Nusa Dua - there is Geger Beach, which you will learn about a little later.

North Bali

This part of the island consists entirely of volcanic beaches. There is no white sand here, but the water has a higher “level of calm.” The reason is simple - the north of the island is washed not by the ocean, but by the waters of the Bali Sea.

The nature here is beautiful, and most of the resorts are concentrated near Buleleng. Most popular here coastal villages with adjacent beach strips. Here they are:

  • Anturan;
  • Tukad Mungga;
  • Temukus;
  • Kalibukbuk.

The listed beaches merged into a single resort, called Lovina. The infrastructure here is not overwhelming, but everything you need is present. The main advantage of Lovina is the small influx of travelers during the summer months.

The northeast is famous for snorkeling and diving. Local beaches are covered in black volcanic sand, but there are many diving centers.

West and East

You won’t see beautiful sunsets in the east, and the beaches here are tiny and uncrowded. The sand is excellent. There are many suitable diving spots (Pasir Putih Beach, Padangbai Beach).

There are fewer resorts in the west. Connoisseurs of the unknown flock here, chasing bright adventures. Rocks and rocky beaches– this is what Western landscapes look like. For lovers have a nice swim there's nothing to do here.
