Surfers paradise at the South Bali Beaches

South Bali Beaches -- Nusa Dua

Nusa Dua beach is what you expect of a tropical beach: beautiful white sandy beaches, trees that provide natural shading, dark blue sea and sunny skies.
Along this section of the south Bali beaches there are many beach resorts which offer high class service. So this is the place to go to if you are planning a real holiday break.
The first thing I noticed when I was on the beach was the soft sand between my toes and the sound of the ocean breeze...it was so quiet. These south Bali beaches are all located on resorts, so there is no noise of traffic.
And on top of that, there are no people offering things to sell. Unlike Kuta Beach bali, hawkers are not allowed to enter this part of the south Bali beaches, so you will definitely not be disturbed when you are enjoying your time at the beach.

Just pure tranquility...

This quietness is definitely unique in Bali. However this has all been planned...
Over the years unplanned tourism has led to negative impacts on the Balinese culture.
Therefore the authorities wanted to decrease further impacts by creating a secluded tourist area that is mainly focused on tourists who have more to spend.
For this reason only 4 and 5 star resorts are found in Nusa Dua and there are no independent stalls, restaurants or other businesses in the near surroundings of the resorts contrary to the other south Bali beaches.
The location for this tourism project was carefully selected as well. Nusa Dua was sparsely populated, has good weather and most importantly beautiful white beaches.
A man made dam in sea ensures that the waves break further off shore which makes it an sea ideal for swimming. Unlike Sanur there’s no seaweed so it feels comfortable when you wade into the water.

Enough space on the wide white beaches...

Besides just going for a relaxing swim, you can also do other water sports at Nusa Dua beach such as diving, water-skiing, jet-skiing and parasailing.
If the hotel doesn't provide these facilities, you can always head to Tanjung Benoa where you’ll find many diving operators there.
At Tanjung Benoa there are even operators who offer one hour cruises in a glass bottomed boat and fishing trips.
If you want to go further off shore there is the Bali Hai who has day trips to Nusa Penida, an island just 30 minutes from Nusa Dua.
This island has amazing underwater sights for snorkelling and diving.
Surfers can find waves too in Nusa Dua. The best surfing is on the reef in front of Club Med. This is also known as ‘Sri Lanka’ and has a right hand break. The other breaks can be reached by boat just south of the Hilton.
No matter how you spend your time in Nusa Dua, expect a beautiful beach where you can relax in style...
