Bingin Beach, Bali: One of the Island’s Most Iconic Surf Beaches
Some beaches are made for swimming. Others are made for surfing, sunsets and simply taking in the view. Bingin Beach is definitely one of the latter.
Hidden beneath dramatic limestone cliffs on Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, Bingin is one of the island’s most iconic surf destinations. Think turquoise water, powerful waves, golden sand and an atmosphere that captures the laid-back spirit of Bali.
Things to Do at Bingin Beach
Catch the waves. Bingin is famous for its world-class left-hand reef break, attracting experienced surfers from around the globe. Even if you're not surfing, watching the action from the beach is an experience in itself.
Take it slow. Find a spot on the sand, enjoy the ocean breeze and let the afternoon unfold. At low tide, the exposed reef and natural rock pools reveal another side of Bingin. Bring your camera — the coastline is particularly photogenic.
Stay for sunset. As the sun begins to set over the Indian Ocean, the cliffs and coastline take on a beautiful golden glow. It's the kind of view that makes you want to stay just a little longer.
Where to Eat After Bingin Beach
The sun goes down, but your day doesn't have to end there.
A short drive from Bingin Beach, Wet Plate Kitchen is the perfect place to continue your evening on Bali's Bukit Peninsula.
This Asian-inspired restaurant combines an open kitchen, charcoal-grilled dishes, bold flavours and a bar serving signature cocktails. Choose a table in the courtyard or sit at the open kitchen counter and watch the chefs in action.
Start with Beef Tataki or Seabass Crudo, discover something new from the menu and settle in for a cocktail or two.
From salty hair and sandy feet to good food and great cocktails — that's a pretty good way to end a day in Bali.
