Balangan beach is one of the most beautiful beaches on the Bukit peninsula, located in the South of Bali and only a 25 minute drive from the airport.
A perfect place to stroll down and enjoy the tranquility of nature at its finest, the coast is a perfect playground for kids or families where they can collect shells, build sand castles, or just play around in the water. Similar to most beaches on Bali , Balangan beach also presents the spectacular sight of sunsets over its afternoon horizon.
Well known and visited by surfers from all over the World, Balangan beach, Dreamland, Bingin, Padang Padang and Uluwatu were formerly considered the exclusive playgrounds of the surfing Community, with some of the best waves anywhere in the world on this small, stunning stretch of coastline. The waves at Balangan break through all the stages of the tide, with many different sections and offering rides up to 500 metres long on the bigger swells.
For surfers, this is where one of Bali’s longest left-hander breaks are found and, when the swell is big enough, there may well be one or two tube sections. The sheer length of this wave means that it has several starting points, as well as varied sections – in a word, everything the surfer’s heart desires: whether steep or simple drops, sharp faces or smooth longboard sections, there’s something for everyone. Even advanced surfers can learn something here. With the best waves size averaging from 4 to 8ft, Balangan features very classy waves, meaning, surfers will be challenged by the fast waves on some good days with smaller swell during dead low tide days. From April to November constant south-west swells and off-shore winds ensure perfect waves, and loads of point breaks and tubes.
To go to Balangan from Kuta or Denpasar take the South Bypass Ngurah Rai route to Nusa Dua until you arrive at Bukit Peninsula, Uluwatu. Pass through the Garuda Wisnu Kencana complex until you find a small intersection where you should take the right small road until you find the sign “To Balangan”. Follow the road until you find the metal fence to the beach parking lot. The Trip from Kuta will take roughly 30 to 40 minutes, and from Denpasar it will take about 40-50 minutes depending on the traffic conditions.
