Beach Life in Bali is Pure Fun in the Sun
As the temperature gets chillier in many Northern Hemisphere countries, tropical destinations such as Baliseem all the more attractive. With their bona fide friendly nature and ingenious for hospitality, the Balinese make the island an even more popular destination to beachcombers in search of sun, sand and surf.
Bali also has a variety of beach options to suit every kind of traveler. There are the popular surf spots of Kuta and Legian, the luxurious and private shores of Nusa Dua, the chic and romantic Seminyak beach and the beautifully serene locale of Sanur.
Says seasoned traveler Ganesh Manickavasagar, Director of D’Casting Company, “Bali is one of those locations where you really feel an affinity with the environment. The picturesque beaches, charming people and traditional culture combine together to create a unique experience that really is unmatched by other tropical destinations.”
With its clean break waves and lengthy golden shore, Kuta has been a favourite among surfers since the 1970s. These days, the area is something of a tourist Mecca, offering a prime nightlife and entertainment scene in addition to its vast array of beach activities and hotels. The area is also brimming with shopping options, with everything from branded luxury clothes and accessories to bohemian beach wear.
The Kuta town and surrounding suburbs are suitable for all types of tourists including seasoned solo surfers, young groups of friends, couples and families. It is an epicenter for surf, sun and fun – but not necessarily peace and quiet. For this year’s summer high season, Agoda.com has hot deals around Kuta beach and the suburbs of Legian at Santika Beach Hotel, The Rani Hotel and Spa and Legian Beach Hotel.
“Bali is my favorite holiday spot. I’m from Sydney and love surfing back home but Bali has a different, more laid back feel. I love the food, the people and Balinese culture. Also, you cannot get a beach massage Balinese style at such a cheap price back home; they’re sublime!” says frequent Bali traveler and customer service manager, Natalie Brooks.
Not far from Kuta town is the trendy Seminyak beach. Quickly earning a reputation for being a sleek, boutique hotspot, Seminyak has a first-rate swimming beach and a number of designer accommodation and fine dining options. Agoda recommendations include the Resor Seminyak Resort & Spa and the opulent Oberoi Hotel.
The luxurious beach cove of Nusa Dua is a favorite among those traveling to Bali, because of its calm, tranquil atmosphere and inviting turquoise waters. It is a perfect place for romancing honeymooners but also for those with a passion for underwater life – there are good diving and snorkeling spots to be found in this area. Agoda has special discounts at Nikko Resort & Spa, Melia Benoa Hotel and Nusa Dua Resort & Spa, all known for their splendid outdoor landscaping, Balinese architecture and high levels of service.
Closer to Denpasar, the quiet beach of Sanur is a pleasant alternative to the highly developed and more popular beach spots of Bali. Everything at Sanur moves at a leisurely pace, and guests can experience a more traditional Bali, with local fishermen bringing in their catch of the day and the soothing sounds of the nearby temple, offering a unique atmosphere. Agoda has special hotel rates at Sanur Beach Hotel, Mercure Sanur Hotel and Sri Phala Resort and Villas.

Help answer the question about surfing bali
I'm going to Bali late November for a month of surfing. Where should I go, what should i do?I don't have that much cash, am open to go anywhere in Indonesia, and don't want to spend too much time in Bali. Was thinking Lombok and maybe Sumbawa, but really looking for tips on cheap places to go that work in the wet season.

Kuta is best for swimming and surfing. Sanur is good for swimming and snorkelling. Tanah lot is not the place for swimming, surfing or snorkelling. Try Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan for swimming, surfing and snorkelling.

The waves are best in the summer, the dry season – June through September – when the tradewinds blow west along the legendary Bukit Peninsula (Uluwatu, Padang Padang, etc.)
However, that's also the most crowded time of year and you'll typically find every spot, from Kuta Beach to Uluwatu completely packed with Aussies, Brazilians, Japanese, and American surfers, all trying to lock into some of that famous Indo juice.
With that said, you can try the winter months, the wet season, when the winds blow east. Then, lesser known spots along the east side of the island, especially in places like Sanur, start to fire. However, it rains a lot and there aren't quite as many great reefs as there are on the other side.
In the past, my friends and I have tried to go in May, which is just the beginning of the dry season and tends to be much less crowded. However, we've also gotten some pretty bad weather and crummy conditions…which makes it a semi-risky proposition.
My advice would be to go in May or June, and if the crowds start to drive you mad, hit the road. There are hundreds of nearby islands, including Lombok, which are chock full of great, uncrowded surf spots. Plus, traveling is half the fun.
Explore. Have fun. PULL IN!!!
(Before you go, get "Indo Surf & Lingo" by Peter Neely, as well as Periplus Action Guides' "Surfing Indonesia". Both are invaluable books and can be ordered from Amazon.)
Kuta is the main beach, can surf and swim. It's a beach break, not reef, so there's a lot of people here. It's gotten to be congested with a lot of trash, so try to go towards Legian, which is further down away from all the tourists spots. Same drag, just further down. That's if you plan to stay in this part of island. Can go up north to the top of island, great place with chill waters. Don't exactly know the name of the beach, but you can find maps all over the internet, check out http://www.baliblog.com or www. baliforyou.com
Legian (Next to Kuta), stay at Senen bungalows, very calm – 100m from the waves, it's 50 000Rp (about 4 US$)
Waves are good pretty much all yr round and november's calm (auzzies on holidays in december, europeans in june-july).
My recommendation will be Odysseys Surf School. I just been to Bali last October and attended Beginner surfing Lesson with them. The location is at Kuta Beach Bali. The best beach for beginners. They provide transportation from Hotel and back to Hotel which make it more convenient. They fetched us from hotel at 8:30(two session:morning(9-12 am), afternoon (1-4 pm). They provided all the necessary equipment. Started with some safety briefing and theory(30 mins). After that we practice some balancing in the swimming pool first. After some practice and we were ready to go to the sea. In the sea, the instruction was one to one and one photographer. They gave a very clear instruction. After three times tried I manage surf well. The experience was fantastic. I was glad that they have a photographer stand by so can catch every shot so nice as a sweet memory. One of the student in our group was not very good in balancing. The instructor was patient and make sure she could stand and surf. We were very satisfied with their services. At the end of the day we brought back a cert, all the photo and some unforgettable memories.

Plenty of Aussies go there – so YES, there should be plenty of shops.
