THE BEST BEACH IN BALI
The best beaches in Bali are found in the south : around Kuta, Jimbaran and the Bukit Peninsula. Some of these are also very busy (particularly the coast from Kuta to Seminyak). Hop in a taxi or rent a car and it’s easy to find some great stretches of sand with few other tourists around.
