Bali's Legendary Beaches 🌊
The classics never miss. These are the beaches that made Bali famous — and yep, they still live up to the hype.
You’ve probably seen this dino-shaped cliff all over Instagram — and yes, it’s that magical in real life. Getting down to the beach is a bit of a workout (seriously, it’s steep), but the view from the top is totally worth every drop of sweat.

Hidden between rocks, this small beach feels like a secret spot. Chill vibes, soft sand, and perfect waves — you’ll want to stay all day (and maybe never leave).

Ngurtavur Beach (Maluku)
Surfer’s Paradise 🏄♂️
If riding waves is your thing — or even just watching from the shore with a coconut — these beaches are where the action’s at.
If you surf, this place needs no intro. But even if you don’t, watching the pros ride massive waves from a cliffside bar is an experience of its own.
Uluwatu Beach (Bali, Indonesia)
A chill alternative to Bali’s surf scene. Friendly waves for beginners, cool cafes, and way less crowded. Plus, the locals are super welcoming.
