Loved this beach. We had to pay 2k IDR upon arrival, which was okay. Beach was pretty empty, definitely not crowded like the one we’ve been before in Jimbaran. Had a nice walk until the far end of the beach, and we got two very comfortable beach beds for 50k IDR in total. The lady who owned the beds was extremely friendly and welcoming. We also got two coconuts for 25k IDR each. They were huge, full with nice sweet coconut water, and with a lot of coconut meat to eat. They were incredibly good. Spent the afternoon there, had an amazing sunset just in front of us. Before leaving, we paid 5k IDR to use the toilet of the nearest warung. It was clean, well kept, locked with a key so only those who pay the fee can use it. It was a great experience altogether. Plus, an amazing spot for Instagram photos!

Pantai Balangan, situated on the western part of South Bali. You can reach this place by car, they have public parking spaces. Apparently there are 2 parking spaces, one on the cliff, the other one is near the beach. The one on the cliff has a magnificent view to the ocean. You can access the beach by going down the stairs.
Once at the beach you can rent beach chairs and order drinks. We had a great time at the beach as there were not too many people around and also NO street vendors. During the rainy season, a lot of debris (wood) and rubbish will wash ashore which can make the experience less fun. Please keep in mind that this is a public beach where locals are trying their best to keep the beach clean without any funding from the government.
Please beware of monkeys as this arra is still considered a “wild” habitat so those wooden debris that wash ashore will come in handy to scare them away. Keep your belongings in a bag.
It is a good place if you like to chase sunsets. When we left the areaa, there were a lot of people (cars, motorcycles) heading to the beach and cliff to catch the sunset.

The trip to this beach is a very pleasant journey, because before arriving at this beach we are given the atmosphere of a prairie area with limestone which makes an aesthetic view. When we get there, we are given a beautiful view from the top of the cliff which is used as an Instagramable photo spot by visiting tourists. In addition, a very beautiful sunset can be seen from the top of this cliff, making it a very beautiful view and a point of interest for this place.

One of my favorite beach in South Bali. Perfect location for surfing (but not for swimming), chilling and sunset.

A great beach to visit, away from the tourist mecca. Travel through some unspoilt areas. A good selection of warungs along the beach which is mainly for surfing

Good but not perfect. Still building restaurants around and not hiden beach anymore in Bali.
Quite clean but still there’s plastics in some part of the beach.
You can surfing here, not so big weaves on the beach, and you can have personal bathub if you’re lucky. :D

Tons of garbage floating and covering the sand,our photo speaks by itself.
sadly nobody cares,many surfers enjoying the waves at the other part of the beach,I think there is a surf school so business that make money there should take some responsibility on that and try to clean up the beach.

Sorry for late.. no u can’t as it’s not possible. Yes scooter is the best option for exploring Bali. And it supposed to take 15/20 min max either way.

I've only been to balangan beach and there is no coast road there. The drive is about 25mins from the main road. It's not a bad drive, smooth roads and enjoy the view

Both are white sand beach, the difference is Kuta Beach is very crowded, while Balangan Beach is not. Balangan is better for surfing and the sand is more clean.

Hi AKH
It depends on what beach you want to swim at. If you are swimming between Kuta and Seminyak, always swim where there is life guards and flags. Waves can vary on tide and weather.
If you are going to surf beaches like Balangan, I wouldn't go out to far unless you are a good swimmer.
