Bali, the island of the gods, besides being famous for its beautiful scenery, vibrant distinctive culture, and thick spiritual atmosphere, Bali is also an amazing surfing spot. Tropical waters, consistent waves, and beautiful beach views make Bali a reference for surfers, both beginner and professional surfers. Bali has several beaches suitable for surfing. This time surfinginbali.com has summarized the five best surfing locations in Bali!
1. Uluwatu
Located in the southern part of the island of Bali, Uluwatu has been a popular destination for surfers since the 1970s. The waves in this area attract leading surfers around the world. The beauty of Uluwatu’s waves is often the venue for prestigious surfing competitions, both at national and international levels. One location that offers surfing is Green Bowl Beach, which is one of the beaches with the most challenging access. In this location, there are many cliffs that make the beach below feel like a private beach. To reach it, visitors must go down many stairs. Apart from that, there is also the Impossible Beach which provides a unique experience for surfers. This beach is ideal for professional surfers who want high waves that are challenging and adrenaline-pumping.
2. Green Bowl
This well-known surf spot on the Hill Peninsula is known as the Green Bowl because it looks like a bowl at low tide. Its natural beauty is reflected in its mesmerizing green color. Due to its difficult access (with hundreds of concrete steps leading to the beach), visitors are rarely seen here. Some people also call it Green Bali or Green Balls. The reason behind the last nickname, unfortunately, I can not explain. The waves at this location are recommended for experienced surfers when the waves are big due to the breakage and strong currents. However, the beach is stunning and secluded, especially on weekdays.
3. Padang-padang Beach
Just like Uluwatu beach which is located in the southern part of Bali Island, Padang-Padang Beach is one of the famous surfing destinations among international surfers. The beach also hosts an annual event, the Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang, which attracts surfers from all over the world. Therefore, there is no need to doubt the advantages and challenges of the waves at this surfing spot in Bali.
4. Kuta
Kuta Beach is also a popular surfing spot in Bali. The beauty of this beach is unquestionable. Kuta Beach is a famous tourist destination and is always crowded with local and international tourists. This beach is also a paradise for surfers from all over the world. Along Kuta Beach, there are various surfing spots that can be explored. Some spots are intended for beginners, while there are also spots that are only used by experienced surfers.
After enjoying surfing in the sea, another fun activity is having a BBQ party. The good news, around South Kuta Beach there are many BBQ restaurants that can be found. Don’t worry about costs, because you can still enjoy BBQ at affordable prices around this popular surf spot in Bali.
