Powerful black-sand surf beach east of Sanur, host to the Komune Pro, with a strong barrel and consistent year-round swell.

Nyang Nyang Beach
Nyang Nyang Beach, Bukit Peninsula
Vast, wild, and nearly deserted white-sand beach on the Bukit's south coast — rewarded only by those willing to make the 20-minute jungle descent.
Pasir Putih (Bias Tugel)
Pasir Putih Bias Tugel, Padangbai
Compact white-sand cove tucked behind Padangbai ferry port, calm and clear — a hidden gem most visitors to east Bali overlook.
Melasti Beach
Melasti Beach (Pantai Melasti), Bukit Peninsula
Dramatic canyon-access beach on the Bukit's south coast with turquoise water and towering white cliffs — one of Bali's most visually striking.
Blue Point Beach
Blue Point Beach (Pantai Suluban), Uluwatu
The famous cliff-base surf and sundown beach at Uluwatu — approached through a cave, overlooked by warung terraces, and legendary among the global surfing community.
