Why the Bali beaches are special?

With an eagerness to find out why Bali is popular for its beaches, I found a Bali guide from Hillmannwonders that depicts a few reasons for its popularity.

As it quotes”
Bali has many long, palm-fringed, white-sand beaches kissed by clear, warm tropical waters. There are beaches for every taste. Some are packed with sunbathers and lined with convenient shops, eateries, bars, and other tourist facilities. Others are populated with big-wave-seeking surfers. Still others are serenely off the beaten path and shared by few people.

Best known beaches

West Coast - They face the warm Indian Ocean waters and are admirably oriented for sunset watching.

Jimbaran Beach  - Lovely location. Favorite of sunbathers seeking a long, quiet, scenic tropical beach. Never a blanket of people, even during peak season. Luxury resort hotels fronting the beach are discreetly semi-hidden from view.

Kuta Beach - Deservingly praised for its length and white sands, though the beach in front of Kuta’s main tourist facilities can become packed.

Legian Beach - Adjacent and similar to Kuta Beach, though not quite as busy and commercialized.

East Coast - These lie along the body of water between Bali and Lombok Island.

Nusa Dua Beach is populated with many international-style five-star resort hotels. It can occasionally become moderately crowded.

Sanur Beach - Once Bali’s most popular beach. Still pleasant, though waves in recent decades have eroded some sand.

Candi Dasa Beach - Half as busy and developed as Sanur and Nusa Dua’s beaches, but has in recent decades suffered even more sand erosion than Sanur Beach.

North Coast - Lovina is the most tourist-visited destination on Bali’s north coast. It is known for its “black sand” beaches (”gray” would be more accurate).

Positive - The Lovina area is less developed and commercialized than tourism centers like Kuta. 

Negative - The beaches are hardly tropical paradises. They experience the sometimes hot and humid tropical Bali Sea climate. “Lovina” is a collective name for a string of seaside villages.

Bali – A Traveler’s Ultimate Destiny

Bali’s natural attractions include miles of sandy beaches (many are well-known amongst surfers), picturesque rice terraces, towering active volcanoes over 3,000 meters (10,000 ft.) high, fast-flowing rivers, deep ravines, pristine crater lakes, sacred caves, and lush tropical forests full of exotic wildlife.

The island’s rich cultural heritage is visible everywhere – in over 20,000 temples and palaces, in many colorful festivals and ceremonies (including tooth filings and cremations), in drama, music, and dance.

You can experience Bali on many different excursions and guided tours by coach, private car or “Big Bike”, by boat or by air plane: seeing Bali’s beaches and rice terraces, the famous Besakih Temple on the slopes of holy Mount Agung, Lake Batur and it’s active volcano, Ubud, Legian, Kuta, Nusa Dua, and the temples of Tanah Lot and Ulu Watu from a helicopter is a really special experience. For helicopter tours and private charters (3 to 6 passengers), please contact the Balivillas.com Service Center at 703-060 as soon as you arrive.

Most full-day tours by car (about 8 to 10 hours, min 2 persons) cost about US$45 to US$50 per person, half-day tours US$30 to US$35. These prices include a multi-lingual guide and transport in an air-conditioned private car, all entrance fees, but no meals. Which guide and driver you choose can make or break your day: be warned that those who offer very low prices tend to waste your time by showing you hardly any more than those shops which pay them a commission on your purchases.
