Five Most Beautiful Beaches in Bali

If you are planning to have a vacation Bali, visiting beaches must be included in your list of places to visit. After all, you must have already heard about how amazing these beaches in Bali are.

However, with a short time of vacation you have, you may be a bit confused which beach you should visit first. Therefore, without further ado, I list here five most beautiful beaches in Bali. Here they are from five to one:

5.  Petitenget / Pantai Kudeta

     Having the same line as Legian and Kuta Beach, makes this recently popular beach worth your visit. It is located in Kerobokan, North Kuta District, Badung Region, Bali. Petitenget Beach is only 15 kilometers from Denpasar or about 30 minutes drive from the Ngurah Rai airport, make it very easy to visit.

     This beach is famous with its long white sand beach. The waves are great for surfing. You can also do sunbathing, swimming or just walking enjoying the beach in the evening. This spot is very great to sunset viewing. Besides, it has been well-known that Petitenget Beach has the high amount of sunlight all day long, so the best time to visit this beach is in the morning or evening. You may find this beach more crowded when the sun is about to set.

     What makes Petitenget more fascinating than Kuta beach or Legian beach is because this beach has an ancient temple in its area. The temple is one of the most sacred temples in Bali. The name of Petitenget itself is taken after the temple.

4.  Kuta

     Since a long time ago, this beach has become the star among the other beaches in the island of Bali. Kuta Beach is just like the icon of Bali along with the temples and unique culture. You may not be considered have visited Bali if you haven’t visited this beach.

     Its beauty is not to be questioned. The sunset here is one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. What makes this beach is more popular because it can be reached easily, only about 10 minutes from the Ngurah Rai Airport.

3.  Dreamland Beach

     Dreamland Beach is a very popular beach today. Located in the south of Bali, in a village of Pecatu, this beach is surrounded by high cliffs and big corals. Its area is in the complex of Bali Pecatu Graha (Kuta Golf Link Resort) about 30 minutes from Kuta Beach.

     In a glance, Dreamland Beach looks like Kuta Beach. Its white sand and gaps among the steep corals really become the sight to behold. The beach is clean and relaxing to enjoy sunset. Its great waves are becoming the new heaven for any surfers nowadays. This beach has even become the important new destination for surfing in Bali.

2.  Padang-Padang

Padang-Padang Beach is located on Labuan Sait Street, Petacu Village, Kuta Selatan District, Badung District.

Todays, Padang-Padang Beach is very famous, its beauty equal—if not even more—to Dreamland, Kuta and Nusa Dua Beach. If you visit this beach, you will soon find the reason why this beach is becoming so popular. It has a certain nature beauty of stunning beach with greenish blue ocean waves, soft white sand and harmonious waves’ sound meeting the shore. You will certainly be mesmerized by the beach.

Here you can get a great time of pleasure, relaxing, sunbathing and surfing.

The beach is located about 32 kilometers from Denpasar and about 45 minutes drive from Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali.

     There is a large park area before entering the area of Padang-Padang Beach. You can find many stalls and shops selling foods and drinks nearby.

1.  Pandawa Beach

You find it right. Instead of the world famous Kuta Beach, I prefer to list this beach as the most beautiful beach in Bali, ranks number one.

Although it has not been as popular as the former beach, Pandawa beach is certainly a treasure. It is located in the south of Bali, in a village of Kutuh, Kutu Selatan Districk, Badung Region. In the past this beach is known as Secret Beach due to its location that is very secluded, hidden behind the high canyons with bushes. Because of the reason, the beach which is actually very beautiful and close to Nusa Dua become a little bit less popular than Kuta Beach.

    

     However, now you scan be easier coming to this fascinating beach since the government has opened the access to the beach passed the high cliffs. The way to this beach is so unique and great with high cliffs on the left and right.

     Pandawa Beach can be reached by car in about one hour long from Ngurah Rai International Airport. The drive can be directed from Kuta to Garuda Wastu Kencana, then turn left to Nusa Dua or Bali Cliff. You just need to pay attention on the road direction with “Pantai Pandawa” written on the signboard to turn left until you reach four junction and then follow the route to finally arrive at Pandawa beach location. You will pass a stone cliffs and the hill where its wall is holed and filled with the five characters of Pandawa, as the name suggested.

That's about five most beautiful beaches in Bali, in my personal opinion of course. Asides from those five, Bali still has a lot of beaches or other awesome tourism spots worth your visit. I will show you the other stunning stuff from this island. So, see you on the next post~~
