Surfers paradise at the South Bali Beaches

South Bali Beaches -- Balangan

There are two roads leading to Balangan beach. One is a side road just before entering the Dreamland gates. This one is well paved and leads through a couple of Balinese villages until you arrive at the dirt road that takes you to the beach.
If you are travelling by car it can get pretty bumpy from here. It makes it easier to go by motor bike.
We took the road from Dreamland Beach. It passes the newly built Comfort Inn hotel and leads to a small road through bushes where the cows are grazing peacefully and where there are a couple of thatched farmer’s huts. We soon ended up at the dirt road to the beach.
Sometimes you might feel that you are lost but don’t worry you are on the right road...
There are hardly any signs to one of the most secluded south Bali beaches. You will only see signs improvised by small hotels. However once you arrive at these hotels you know you’re almost there.
There’s a small parking area for your car or motor bike, the rest is walking on the rocky path down to the beach.
Ahhh what a sight...

Ready to book a ticket..?

The beautiful white beach has soft sand where you can stroll without any of the pushy hawkers or masseurs. It’s a very romantic spot, quiet and perfect for watching the sunset or just to spend a couple of days.
At low tide you can perfectly cool down in the puddles just along the coast or walk to two deserted beaches for some more privacy.
On the outer left side of Balangan beach you can watch surfers catch fantastic waves coming from the left side. To get to the surf area you need some rubber footwear because there are lots of rocks, which can make nasty cuts.

Enjoying one of nature's gifts...

There are a couple of Balinese styled sea view cottages catered to the surf crowd and other independent travellers.
Parasols and beach chairs are there waiting for you to come and laze, read a book or watch little Balinese kids searching for clams together with their parents.
This is definitely one of my favorite of the south Bali beaches ;-)
