There are a lot of beaches in Bali. Each beach has its own merits and attracts different kinds of people. The most famous beaches, such as Kuta and Nusa Dua, are in the south of Bali, while Rowena, with its black-sand beaches, is located in the north.

Jimbaran Beach is famous for its grand sunset out at sea, which has been rated as one of the ten most beautiful sunsets in the world. The beauty of the scenery at night here is beyond description. When the sun is setting, the whole sky, sea, and beach are dyed a deep gold.

Besides the well-known sunset seascape, the outside seafood stalls that can be found everywhere in the evening are also a major feature of Jimbaran Beach. You can enjoy seafood BBQ and a candle-lit dinner while reveling in the golden sunset. An experience which is full of unique sentiment.

Kuta Beach ranks seventh in the top 10 most beautiful beaches in Southeast Asia, and is a world-famous surfing paradise with broad beaches, strong winds, and huge waves. It not only attracts world-famous surfers, but also appeals to young people seeking an adrenaline rush.

The beach is close to a commercial street which is dominated by the business area of Kuta Square. This extends all along the coast. You can find all sorts of handicrafts in various stores, or enjoy shopping in the large department stores. There are also many seaside restaurants here. You can taste local seafood under a romantic candlelight and the cool sea breeze at night.

Lovina Beach is one of the most peaceful beaches in Bali. This unique black-sand beach was formed due to volcanic activity and was eroded by seawater over a long period. The low volume and slow pace of the beach forms a sharp contrast to Kuta Beach in the south.

Seeing dolphins in Lovina is a hot tourist activity in Bali. Hundreds of dolphins live in this seaarea and they go out hunting for food at dawn, which forms a magnificent “Dolphin Legion” out at sea.

Sanur Beach is one of the first areas in Bali which was built into a resort, and is famous for itssunrise at sea. Sanur is also a rare peaceful beach in the south of Bali and is the best choice for travelers who like peach and quiet when enjoying their leisure time.

Sanur Beach is narrow, and is protected by rocks and breakwater. It also has bright and clearwaves. There are also many great places to stay here and it is an ideal base for a one-day tour to the south and Ubud in the north.

Located on the southeast coast at the south end of Bali, Nusa Dua is a luxury holiday resort with very comprehensive facilities and plenty of five-star hotels. Nusa Dua Beach, with its crystal clear and pure blue seawater, is much cleaner than Kuta Beach and Jimbaran Beach, as it's not influenced by the outside world.

The private beaches of the hotels are linked, allowing people to walk freely between adjacent hotels. You can not only enjoy the sea breeze or take a leisurely swim here during your quiet time, you can also go snorkeling and play with the cute tropical fish in the allocated area nearby.

Seminyak is second to none among many beaches on the west coast of Bali. The clean beachand bright, clear seawater sparkles with an attractive diamond-like shine under direct sunlight. When the seawater recedes, a mirror is formed on the beach, reflecting the beautiful night's sky.

Seminyak Beach is located on the west coast of southern Bali and to the north of Kuta Beach. Many luxurious residences, restaurants and bars are gathered here. However, it is a little more rural and quiet compared to Kuta.

Dreamland Beach, known as the “New Kuta Beach”, is a beautiful white beach where you can enjoy dreamy sunset scenery in the evening, which is extremely awe-inspiring. It is suitable for surfing due to the strong winds and huge waves and is highly suitable for surfing masters seeking stimulation.

The whole area was developed by the youngest son of the President of Indonesia, including its resorts, golf courses, luxury hotels, and business areas, so it’s relatively private with a low-key business atmosphere and fewer people. Besides surfing and sunbathing, you can also enjoy its dreamy sunset scenery in the evenings, which are extremely awe-inspiring.

Padang Beach is located at the foot of Uluwatu Mountain and is famous for the Hollywood film “Eat Pray Love” which was filmed there. It is a pocket beach and has not been fully developed for tourists. There are a few tour group companies that come here, so there is a slight business atmosphere. The beach has clear seawater and white sand and its beautiful scenery is very appealing.

The beach is located in a concealed location and can be accessed via a stone stairway that only holds one person. It's just like a secret paradise. Cliffs surround both sides of the beach, so it’s a beautiful place to take pictures of. It is a great place for taking sunset, beach, and bikini photos.
