Which Beach is the best in Baili

I would suggest Legian/Seminyak and Sanur as the best beaches. A lot of the other beahces have black sand and are covered in small stones. As for hotels, give us a budget and I can probably recommend some.

Which Beach is the best in Baili

i tnink the best beach is Bias tugul – white sand beach – 20 minute walk south from padangbai – swimming is great. padangbai is on the east coast of bali.

the beach at padangabai in front of the hotel is a nice white sand beach inside the north end of the bay. it is lined with boats in and out of the water.

the place is very quiet and laid back.

a good place to stay is the Puri rai hotel

475 000 family air con

We have just had a week in Sanur at The Bali Hyatt and it was fantastic - very Balinese. Beach have waves out further as there is coral reef closer to shore. Another nice hotel in Sanur is the Puri Santrian which has great reviews. Sanur was lovely and peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle of kuta.

My vote for best beach on Bali is certainly Nusa Dua Mengiat - its really the same beach as Geger, which is where the new St Regis is located, and the beach club for the Amanusa Hotel.

I posted a review on this beach with some pics:

Sanur is ok in places, but less so in some places where the beach is eroding. The best beach location at Sanur is around the Bali Hyatt. I believe this is called Indus Beach by the locals.

Both Mengiat and Sanur areas are nice because there is an offshore reef that keeps heavy surf away from the beach. Heavy surf is the down side of the Kuta/Legian/Seminyak beach.

Best beach is really a subjective opinion!!

I have posted the below list about 3 or 4 times, so do it again now. Someday I will do a more scientific review based on the work of ';Dr Beach'; (Dr. Stephen Leatherman)! Its not the result, its the journey that%26#39;s fun.

Last year I spent one month checking out every beach on Bali. My vote for best white sand beach is as follows:

1. Nusa Dua from Hyatt to St Regis/Geger Temple. Known as Meniat Beach and Geger Beach. The most beautiful blue water, pristine white sand, minimal vendors. You can use this beach anytime (without staying at one of the hotels) at the Yasa Segara village or Geger village beach cafes, which are open to the public. The cafes rent beach chairs for about 20k rupiah per day and food/beverage is available from the cafe. There is also a parking lot. Geger is one of the few beaches at which no top sunbathing is allowed.

2. Jimbaran. Waves and white sand. Beach is accessible from the Jimbaran barbecue restaurants, but is really best when staying at a resort on the beach. The best and most cost effective resort at Jimbaran is the Puri Bali, with private beach access. Intercontinenal is nice, but more crowded. Four Seasons is top end. The barbecue restaurants are great at night for fresh fish Indonesian style with toes in sand (watch the prices......)

3. Sanur area. Favorite of many visitors for its old time flavor and local feeling. Nice beach, but sand breakwaters detract from the elegance of the beach. The area around the Bali Hyatt seems to be the nicest white sand beach. This was the first developed resort area on Bali and is very popular.

4. Kuta/Legian/Seminyak. Nightlife, sunset and beach. Beach is not as clean as Nusa Dua and most areas of Jimbaran and the water is rougher. I have noticed clean up crews in the morning. Close to great restaurants and night life. Nightly sunset is a plus and many beach front resorts and restaurants have beach side lounges to enjoy this scenery.

Other beaches of interest:

1. ';Dreamland';, now fully developed with a Best Western Hotel. The old surf beach is gone, replaced with a 15,000 rp parking lot. Avoid.

2. Next to Dreamland is Balangan Beach. Popular with surfers and not as well known as Dreamland. The feeling of this beach is almost Hawaiian. There are a couple of bungalow style accommodations and most of the surf warungs from Dreamland have moved here. Almost no tourists here. Access is a bit of a pain, but the road is paved.

3. ';Kutuh Beach'; access from the village of Kutuh through the rock quarries in central Bukit. Has seaweed farmers, white sand, privacy, and no tourists. Really different. No accommodations and no tourists. This is way Bali was 50 years ago.

4. ';Green Bowl'; accessible from the long stairway at the temple next to the closed Bali Cliff hotel. Surfer beach, caves at the bottom of the stairs and monkeys living around near here. Great scenery and adventure. No accommodations. Really a surf spot.

Stay away from any black sand beach. They feel dirty and the black sand absorbs heat, so its hard on the feet.

Really appreciated for all of your kind help.

You all are very warm-hearted.

I will discuss with my husband, can%26#39;t wait to going bali !!!!!!!
