99% of tourists come to Bali for an unforgettable beach holiday. And the famous sunsets are a completely awesome sight. Photos from the island of Bali reminds advertising booklets, so exotically beautiful here. The beaches of the island are especially good because each of them differs from others and has features peculiar only to him, so that any rest will find "their" corner of Paradise on the ocean.

Most of the beaches are concentrated in the south of the island: Kuta, Benoa, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Sanur and Uluvatu. In the north-west - Lovina. From new products - not yet very popular, but excellent Beach Amide in the East.

The feature of the beaches on Bali, which surprises tourists who are not accustomed to rest on the shore of the ocean - these are tides and flows associated with the influence of the Moon on the World Ocean. During the tide, the water level rises, bringing algae, garbage and animal from the ocean. During the low tide, water leaves, leaving a wide shallow, on which you can collect a variety of shells, starfishes and corals.

But because of the sumps, sometimes on some beaches it is impossible to swim throughout the day. The opportunity to enjoy the ocean is provided by nature only until 9 am and after four hours of the day. The complexity consists also in the fact that it is almost impossible to predict exact time Tides or sings, although the approximate schedule on Bali is necessarily prepared a month ahead.

Therefore, choosing suitable beachIt is necessary to take into account this feature. It is possible to immediately note that tides and foals are not very tangible on the beaches of Nusa-Dua and Jimbaran.

Bali Bali Bali Beaches

We will get acquainted closer to the most popular beaches to understand which one can be considered the best of the best. Although it is worth noting that in the photo all the beaches of Bali look just fantastically beautiful.

• Kuta is the most popular beach, an excellent infrastructure. However, an excessive number of tourists and sufficiently high waves are unlikely to enjoy the beach holiday in full. Also Kuta Beach has a sufficiently dirty shore in comparison with the Nusa Dua Beach.

  

• Jimbaran, located in the southwest of Bali and renovative on the map from Nusa Dua - one of the most calm beds, tides and lowers are insignificant here, so you can calmly swim, and not big waves We will delight the newcomers. For example, usually the tide begins after four hours of the day, so that before that time you can enjoy sunbathing and bathing. The beach is optimally suitable for quiet family holiday with kids. Also Jimbaran is distinguished by very small, soft golden sand and relatively clean water. Although the sake of fairness should be noted that due to small waves, the coastal zone differs with muddy water.

  

• Sanur, like Kut, is considered one of the best beaches, and in this case it is. The photo looks like a picture: the sea is the calm on the whole coast, sand - white, water - transparent, like a diamond. Paradise, and only! On the shore there are coral reefs that are visible during the low tide. The local diving due to the diversity of livelihood among corals will bring true pleasure. However, this beach, ideal for recreation with children, is quite expensive pleasure, prices are slightly higher here than in other resorts.

  

• Nusa Dua is a popular elite resort, where many tourists come, unfortunately, it is unlikely to please the transparency and purity of coastal waters, because of the sumps until 3-4 hours of the day are not bought here. Although the sand is amazing, it's true.

  

• Benoa, which is 10 minutes from Nusa-Dua, young and already becoming a very popular Island beach. Willing exotic nature, white sand And transparent as a tear water quickly gained popularity. But here are very tangible tides and flows. However, in addition to bathing, Benoa can enjoy sea fishing, diving, boat riding, paragliding. By the way, the sand is healing here, so Benoa is also the heart of thalassotherapy.

  

• Fishing is a resort in the north-west Bali, suitable for a relaxing holiday and featuring black sand. Due to small waves, there is nothing to do here. But here there are healing hot sulfur sources of bandjar- can be combined with pleasant with useful, and you get used to the specific smell quickly.

  

• Amed is a little rocky beach with black sand of volcanic origin in the northeast of Bali. Here is a little and amide himself is not very popular, but amazing beautiful nature, extraordinary sand and surprisingly sunny weather make this beach with a great place for family holidays.

  

The best beaches on bali surfing

• The top beaches of the island of Bali, suitable for surfing, rightfully belongs to Kuta. Lack of coral reefs and huge waves - What else do you need to solemn? Also that's entertainment Center Islands, very beloved visiting youth.
• Legian, although it is considered part of the cute, still not so crowd. This beach is better suitable for surfing than for swimming. Although the ocean here is also not quite calm, many tourists enjoy water does not interfere. Sand on Legian Beach is not a snow-white, and grayish, but also solely pleasant to the touch.
• Uluvatu - Young resort, elegant place For surfing: delightful nature, purest beaches with warm sand and huge waves. Although for family holidays, on the reviews of some tourists, this beach is also suitable.
• Jimbaran, described above, due to small waves, suitable for novice soles.

As many people already know, Bali beaches are for the most part not the place where you can swim, since all south coast Bali is a restless Indian Ocean, which is 364 days a year gives large and small waves coming here.

But several beaches of bathing on Bali still have! So, if you come to Bali for two weeks to swim, lie on the beach and sunbathing, read carefully.

Nusa Dua

Nusa Dua is a resort area that is located in the south of Bali, about 10 km from Cute (30 minutes drive). In Nusa Dua several beaches and all of them are suitable for swimming, including children. And although in Nusa Dua, too, there are waves, but they are broken away in the ocean and do not reach the shore itself, so the coast has a calm water. But do not forget about tides and sifts: on the platform it can become too small and will be able to swim.

(Tides and flows vary depending on the phases of the moon, and do not depend on the seasons, so do not listen to other tourists who speak - in the morning it is always fine, it will be possible to swim only after lunch - it was in their arrival, but everything can Being absolutely the opposite, plus the tide-tidal time shifts every day. There is such a thing how to learn to use it easy: choose the date of interest to you and time, see the height of the water, all that is less than 1 is a drop (and it means small), all that is more than 1.5 - This is a medium tide and a complete tide, in most cases it means that it will be deep enough).

The entire beach line of Nusa Dua is built up with hotels, but the beaches at the same time open, that is, you can come to any beach, however, you will not allow you to use hotels, you will have to use your towel. On public beaches - such as Geger Beach and Mengiat (Mengiat Beach) - there are paid sun beds and umbrellas. There, on the beaches there are cafes and restaurants, in general the real resort infrastructure. Another very beautiful beach in Nusa Dua is Nikko Beach.

If you do not plan to stop in Nusa Dua, you can always come here to the beach.

Fishing and North Bali

There is a bali north coastwhich instead of the ocean is washed by the sea. Therefore, water there is calm and smooth, no waves at all. There are several small resort villages on this northern coast: Lovina and Pemuteran. Here you can find accommodation direct on the first line or within walking distance of the beach. Friends often come to a couple of days to relax from the noisy Balinese south.

Of the minuses: here is not the most picturesque beachesThey are simple enough, plus the sand is black volcanic. And although water can be transparent, because of dark sand it seems not as beautiful as turquoise water on Bukite. Another minus: these are very small resorts, usually in one or two streets and there is especially nothing to do here. There is no nightlife And the number of restaurants is limited. But if you are looking for the most calm rest On Bali, these places are suitable. Plus, you can explore the island itself, since there are no traffic jams in this part of Bali.

And what about Kuta, Seminyak and Changu?

Some will be survived, how much I still did not say a word about two main resorts Bali - Seminyak and Kuta. All no accident, these two tourist centers Bali is not particularly famous for their beaches. Therefore, many, who arrived for the first time on Bali and settling somewhere in Seminyak, remain disappointed that the sand on the beaches are not white at all, the water is not blue at all, and the saber wave rises sometimes so much that it is not so big that it is not terrible to go into the water, but just even unsafe, and in the rainy season the beaches are so dirty that it remains only to guess for what Bali is called paradise island. Yes, and paintings and nature in these areas zero, areas are fully built up with hotels, cafes, villas and other things.

Kuta and Seminyak are places for those who are important active "part" life with restaurants, bars, cafes, beach clubs and other; These are places for those who came to explore surfing, and not lie on the beach; These are places for those who want to be in the center of everything and are ready to sacrifice the beach and picturesque views. So do your choice :)

But from the pros, Kuta and Seminyak have a central location, hence it is convenient to ride in Changu and Sanur and in Nusa Dua and on Bukit.

The island of Bali in the minds of our travelers seems to be a certain paradise, in which you can donate from the vulnerable world and know the tropical happiness. It really is so, but that the pleasure of vacation is complete, you need to carefully choose the appropriate resort.

We will tell about the most popular Bali beaches, study the northern and southern coast of the island and try to understand where it is worth stopping, and where - no. In addition, you are waiting for the top 3 most beautiful beach on the island. Floored!

Bali Bali - Where to look for

Bali is a stunning island, but no particular illusions do not need to feed on this place. Prepare for the fact that the landscapes "from the postcards" will not coincide with what you saw in reality. Many are disappointed in Bali, call it noisy, dirty and boring island, but it is only part of the truth. Just people who went on vacation chose "not their own" resort. So that this does not happen to you, read our article.

Bali battery mode depends on tidal schedule.

Most beaches of Bali are designed either for surfing, or for swimming. Combining these classes is problematic, since Sarfers need a high wave, and ordinary tourists are in a canopy and safe descent. You will have to understand the following things:

1. Almost all municipal beaches (free, there is no order).
2. Every year the coast becomes dirtier.
3. You will constantly deal with local residents.

And where, in this case, the best beaches for swimming, you ask? They are. Just have to be thoroughly searching.

Resorts of southern shore

Bali is washed by the stormy waters of the Indian Ocean, so the rest will depend on the chart of tidys / swells. Between the North and South, there is also a significant difference in which we now and we will tell.

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

• peninsula Bukit (elite beaches Balangan, Padang Padang, Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Drimland);
• southeast (Padang-Bai, Sanur);
• south-West (Changu, Legian, Kuta).

Conditions for recreation on the luxury Bukite depend on the season. In the summer, local residents are cleaned, preparing for the influx of tourists, and in the winter you will face algae and garbage.

To get the guaranteed pleasure from calm waters, wash the buds, go to Nusa-Dua - the beach of Heger, which you will learn a little later spread out.

North Bali

This part of the island is completely consisting of volcanic beaches. There is no white sand here, but the water is distinguished by an increased "level of calm." The reason is simple - the north of the island is washed by the ocean, but the waters of the Balinese sea.

Nature is beautiful here, and most resorts focused near Buleleng. The most popular here are coastal villages with surrounding beach stripes. Here they are:

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

The listed beaches merged into a single resort, called the name of Lovina. The infrastructure is not extended here, but everything is necessary. The main advantage of the fishing is a small influx of travelers in the summer months.

Northeast is famous for snorkeling and diving. Local beaches are eliminated by black volcanic sand, but there are many diving centers.

West and East

You will not see beautiful sunsets in the East, and the beaches here are tiny, light-headed. Sands are excellent. There are many suitable diving towns (Pasir Putih Beach, Padangbai Beach).

In the west resorts least. Connoisseurs of unknown, chasing the bright adventures flow here. Rocks and stony beaches - Western landscapes look like this. Lovers good bathing There is nothing to do.

You already know that the swimming mode will coincide with the chart of tides and sings. We celebrated the main resorts of Bali on the map. Be sure to explore the tidal schedule before planning a trip.

Five best places for swimming in Bali

Summing up the knowledge obtained from the previous section of the article, let's try to highlight five key places for swimming. The list will look like this:

Beachs for sires are greater than for swimsuits.

Troika the most beautiful beaches of the island

Bali Island is famous for its beaches, there are several dozen of them here. However, not everything can be viewed for swimming. Most of the beaches are in demand in surficists and are absolutely not suitable for water procedures. Therefore, especially for you, I made a selection of the best beaches on the island, which are relatively calm. There are favorable conditions for rest, even with young children.

This is one of the most famous beaches in the southern part of the resort. He combines unique nature, ocean warm water and magnificent hotels. Every year thousands of tourists arrive here from all over the world. The name of the beach is translated as "two islands". Next to it are the islands of Peninsula and Nusa Dharma.

Tourism on the beach began to develop only in the 70s of the past century. It was managed by the joint efforts of the local population and foreign investors. The resort began to develop a rapid pace, deserted territories turned into closed areas of the beach, near which elite hotels and shopping and entertainment centers began to erect.

Nusa-Doua Beach has a length of 3 kilometers. It is famous for its clean yellow sand and gentle entrance to the ocean. There is a well-developed tourist infrastructure, and the water in the ocean pleases the azure color. Near the coast, a coral reef passes, which serves as a barrier from strong waves.

Within the beach, excellent conditions for recreation couples with children have been created. Employees of hotels regularly follow the order on the coastal line, a sufficient number of sun beds and umbrellas have been established. Many thematic restaurants are concentrated in the central part of the beach, in which real culinary masterpieces can be enjoyed. national Kitchen. However, prices are slightly overpriced.

To the number better hotels For relaxation include:

Beach Heger

The beach is located on the territory of the Bucital Peninsula. Near the shore, a coral reef passes, which performs the role of the breakwater. He protects the coast from strong winds, which allows you to swim in the ocean even to small children. Waves are sometimes sometimes, but they gently roll on the coast and no discomfort do not bring rest.

Entrance to the water is gentle. Sand on the beach is light, consists of large grains. The bottom of the shore is also sandy, stones and shells. High transparency of water and rich underwater world allow you to surf and study local beauties.

Hegere does not have large clusters of the people, unlike Nusa Dua. Beach infrastructure is well developed. Along the coast, umbrellas and sun loungers are installed, rent which is available at an additional cost.

Due to the fact that a fishing village is located nearby, boats and ships are often visible on the horizon. Among the minuses also a large number of Algae, which makes out of the ocean. Especially their number increases in the rain period.

Most of the hotels focused on the first coastline. The best belongs to:

Nikko Beach

The beach is located on the Bucit Peninsula, a few steps from Hegera and Nusa Dua. This is a classic beach of the southern Bali. The coastal line covers snow-white sand, and the purest driver creates the most favorable conditions for water procedures. To get to the beach, you need to go through a small cliff, in the upper part of which parking is located.

Nikko Beach pleases with its picturesque landscapes. From the shore you can admire the views of the volcano, the main beauty of which opens in the morning. Often on the beach newlyweds arrange wedding photo shoots. The coastal line is famous for its purity, there are two pier here.

The waves of the shore are practically imperceptible, in addition, in addition to Nikko, arrogant and flows. Local residents They advise swim during high water. Further from the shore there may be underwater flows, so it is not recommended to leave your children without supervision. There is no hotels on the beach, a good option can be booked on the next Nusa Dua. Among them:

Padang Padang Beach

Another beach, for which you can safely go to rest with children of any age. It is famous for safe conditions for swimming and well-developed infrastructure. Entrance to the ocean gentle, no sharp jumps and drops, which ensures the calm parents and battery opportunities for children.

Especially the beach became popular after the famous film "Eat on the screens. Pray. Love, because it was here that several beautiful episodes from the film was filmed. In this regard, the coast is trying to visit every guest of the island.

The beach is also attractive for surficists. This comes here both beginners and experienced athletes. Each year Padang Padang accepts the Surfer Competition "Rip Curl Padang Padang".

To get to the shore, you need to go through picturesque gorge. The coast consists of light sand, water in the ocean of azure color, entering the water smooth and calm. Waves are observed only in July, but they do not reach the shore.

The beach is small, so it can sometimes get an impression as if he is crowded. There are no sunbeds, only umbrellas are installed on the shore, which can be rented for 100 thousand rupees per day. Therefore, to sit on the sand, do not forget to grab a rug or towel. The entrance to the beach is paid, the cost of 10,000 rupees per person.

Personally, I really liked the beach, despite the large number of vacationers and paid entrance. He became my favorite beach holiday destination.

Beach Pandava

This is one of the youngest beaches, for tourists is open only a few years. On all sides is surrounded by a canyon, inside which the road is worn to the coast. Before the shore can be reached by car and on the bike. At the entrances there is a sightseeing platform, which offers a delightful view of the entire beach of Pandava.

The coastal strip shapes a light yellowish sand. There are not many plants, but those that are focused in oasis.

Water here is clean, has a turquoise shade. The bottom is clearly visible even at a depth, which creates favorable conditions for snorzling. Along the shore, the bottom is covered with large sand, minor stones, algae and corals meet a little further. Here are very felt tides and foals. During the tide, water can rise to 1.5 meters.

Infrastructure is well developed. Umbrellas and deck chairs are installed (if desired, you can always accommodate directly on the sand), there are bio-toilets and showers. A little further from the shore is concentrated cafes offering, both national and European cuisine.

On the beach itself there are no hotels, they are located 15-20 minutes drive from the coast. Among them:

Beach Sanur

The beach is southeast of Denpasar, has a length of 5 kilometers. He is quite quiet, at the expense of what pensioners and family couples with children come here. It was from here that the development of the tourist industry began on Bali as a whole.

Not far from the shore is a coral reef and several waveresses. Due to this, aquatic water area is created, reliably protected from strong waves. Sand along the shore of artificial origin. Her here specially brought for tourist purposes.

Entrance to the ocean is gentle, tensions are tangible and fed. Water light green shade, a little further from the shore in it there are algae. Therefore, the adult to swim is not very comfortable.

On the territory of Sanur there are no hotels with private beaches, they are all public. The infrastructure is represented by sun beds, umbrellas, toilets, locker rooms and shower. Along the coast there are many restaurants and cafes. The number of visitors is closer in the late afternoon, when tourists come here to enjoy a romantic dinner.

Among the popular hotels include the following:

• The Alantara Sanur;

Beach Bias Tugal Beach

Often you can hear that the beach is called secret. He received its name due to the fact that all sides are surrounded by rocks. If you look at the top, it overlooks the harbor and rocks and, if you do not know that there is a coastal strip there, then you will not get any work.

There is an incredibly beautiful nature. Tropical vegetation is revealed in all its glory against the background of the Turquoise Ocean. Due to the fact that transport can not drive up to the shore itself, silence and calm reign here. The infrastructure on the beach is poorly developed. A small canopy is installed for vacationers, there are several cafes with light snacks and soft drinks, as well as a toilet. But for him you need to pay 5,000 rupees.

Mostly ocean on the beach is calm and you can safely swim. But sometimes big waves rise, water floods almost the entire beach zone and swim, sunbathing becomes difficult.

There are no hotels on the beach, the nearest are located 15-20 minutes walk from it:

• Villa Manouria-Marcel;
• Villa Suarii;

We met with the best beaches for swimming at Bali. Most of them have a well-developed infrastructure and attracts multiple travelers.

Bali is the most famous island resort in Indonesia. It has long been a stereotype that Bali is traditionally a beach holiday in the shade of banana palm trees with an exotic cocktail in his hands.

The whole truth is O. beach holiday on Bali

Having arrived at Bali, you will more often meet unadiest and dirty beaches, rather than snow-white sands and a nonsense azure smooth.

All beaches of the island municipal, so the entrance to them is open even local. In particularly flooded tourists, traders are arranged from the beaches a real market. Around the noise and gams characteristic of him.

Bali is most likely a paradise for sirfs than for ordinary swimsters. Waves (and not small) climb along the whole coast every day. It is possible only to pick up the part of the resort, where their intensity is slightly smaller.

Bali washed Indian Ocean. Tides and foals - its main feature. There is an approximate schedule at what time, for example, to expect a tide. So it turns out that you bathe in the ocean also on schedule.

Types of beaches Bali

On the north coast of Bali you will find the dark sands of volcanic origin, the southern tip is white, golden beaches with small sand.

South Bali Coast

The most adapted beaches for relaxed rest are in the south. This is a coastal strip from "Cute" and "Legiana" to elite resorts On the peninsula "Bukit".

But it is worth understanding that the condition of the beaches and conditions will be directly dependent on the current season. In the summer, they are the cleanest and comfortable, while in the winter Western beaches of Bukita are always removed by garbage and algae. And this is despite the fact that employees of first-class hotels are trying to remove them daily.

For guaranteed quiet water ocean should be sent to the beaches "Mengiat"and "Geger" In Nusa-Dua.

From Kuta will have to get about 40 minutes. Here the waves do not reach the swimming zone thanks to the natural barrier, coral reef. Fine sand, good beach inventory, cozy cafes on the shore. By the way, "Geger" is one of the few beaches of Bali, which is allowed to sunbathe "topless".

"Legian Beach"- A wide portion of dark yellow sand in the shade of high trees, a wide selection of hotels, bars and restaurants. It is excellent for walking, relaxation, surfing, but not only for swimming due to strong underwater flows.

"Sanur Beach"- A beautiful beach with brightly brutged there with artificial white sand, fully crowded volcanic black. From the capital Bali, Sanur, are separated by 10 km.

Modern resort with a huge number of beach entertainment to choose from.

Particularly talked place - a piece of the beach in front of the Grand Bali Beach.

Exceptionally relaxed rest in all senses of this word: prudently installed waves make the sea perfect for swimming, and the lack of clubs and discos create a rather peaceful atmosphere.

Jimbaran Beachit is noteworthy less steep descent into water and a calm ocean mood. It is located just 5 minutes from the airport and 20 minutes from Cute. Well-groomed white sand beach and developed tourist infrastructure. There are no sings as such here, but the water can be excavated by the waves.

Beach "Jimbaran" "in a fishing village

"Tanzhung Benoa Beach"Deleted to the north of Nusa Dua is famous for crystal clear water. Of the minuses: Strong foals that make impossible swimming, sand is a mixture with pebbles, thrown ashore algae and high depth immediately after entering the water.

North Beach Bali.

The north coast has volcanic beaches. There are more calm water, as this is no longer the ocean, but the Balinese sea. And very beautiful nature. Almost all beaches are concentrated in the Buleleng region. Among the most popular, you can highlight the coastal villages - "Tukad Mungga", "Anturan", "KalibukBuk" and "Temukus".

All of them come in a single resort called "Lovina". It is not as developed as its southern "counterparts", but nevertheless, the most necessary infrastructure on the beaches is available. The indisputable plus of "fishing" is the lack of a huge number of tourists in a high season.

North Resort Bali, "Lovina" "

For excellent snorkeling and diving, go, without thinking, northeast. The resort "Amed" spread here with volcanic black beaches in which professional diving centers work.

East Beach Bali

Eastern beaches of Bali are distinguished by small sizes and lack of beautiful sunsets, but there is no huge cluster of the people, beautiful sand and excellent places to exercise snorkeling and diving. This is "Padangbai Beach"

and "Pasir Putih Beach".

Snow-white sand on "Pasir-Putih" "and turquoise water
