Bali is famous for its beautiful beaches, but many visitors only experience the crowded shores of Kuta, Seminyak, and Nusa Dua. For those seeking tranquility and unspoiled beauty, Bali’s hidden beaches offer a perfect escape.
1. Green Bowl Beach
Located at the southern tip of Bali near Ungasan, Green Bowl Beach is named after the emerald-colored algae that covers its rocks at low tide. Accessible via a steep staircase with around 300 steps, this small beach rewards your effort with crystal clear waters, great snorkeling, and a peaceful atmosphere.
2. Nyang Nyang Beach
One of Bali’s most secluded beaches, Nyang Nyang requires a 20-minute trek through grasslands and down a cliff to reach its shores. The beach stretches for almost 1.5 kilometers, offering plenty of space to find your own private spot.
3. Bias Tugel Beach
Also known as “Little Padang Padang,” this hidden gem is located near Padangbai in East Bali. The 100-meter stretch of white sand is framed by rock formations that create a sheltered cove with gentle waves, making it ideal for swimming.
4. Gunung Payung Beach
This secluded beach in south Bali requires a descent down 300 steps carved into the limestone cliff. The effort ensures few visitors make it here, rewarding those who do with unspoiled white sands and excellent snorkeling opportunities around the coral reef.
5. Pasir Putih (Virgin Beach)
Located in East Bali near Candidasa, this white sand beach (hence the name “Pasir Putih”) remains relatively undeveloped despite growing in popularity. Traditional fishing boats dot the shore, and small warungs serve fresh seafood.
