Balangan Beach
Nearly a kilometer of white sand beneath limestone cliffs, with a left-hand reef break and sunset views from the northern point.
This guide to Balangan Beach in Bali opens with an unlikely origin story: in 1997 soldiers set fire to the food stalls lining this stretch of the Bukit Peninsula to clear the way for a road, ending an era when surfers had paddled out here in near-total isolation. Restaurants and beach clubs later filled in the same ground, and by 2025 officials were investigating them for building illegally on state land, the same claim that had just leveled dozens of businesses at neighboring Bingin. Walk north toward the point, where couples still gather at sunset for photos on the cliff edge.
