Wild beauty under the cliff

Balangan Beach, Bali

Length: 0.4 kmSurf year-round; swim at higher tide, mind the reefstay nearby from $18/night

Balangan is a band of golden sand beneath a limestone cliff on the northern Bukit: a clifftop viewpoint with a postcard panorama, simple warungs with loungers and a long left-hand wave beloved by surfers.

Swimming is best at higher tide — low water exposes the reef, so reef shoes help. Fewer tourists than the famous beaches, which is exactly why people love it.
