Berawa Beach Attractions
Surfing: Berawa Beach is known for its consistent and good-sized waves, making it a popular spot for surfers of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced.
Relaxed Atmosphere: Compared to other popular beaches in Bali, Berawa offers a calmer and more natural environment, providing a more relaxed experience away from large crowds.
Beach Clubs and Cafes: The area around Berawa Beach has trendy beach clubs where you can enjoy food, drinks, and stunning sea views. There are also smaller local food stalls and cafes along the beach. Plus, Berawa Food Street is a recently opened area with various local and international food options.
Batu Belig Beach Attractions
Sunset Drinks and Relaxation: Batu Belig is an excellent spot to unwind with drinks and friends while enjoying the beautiful sunset views without the large crowds often found in Seminyak.
Surfing: The waves at Batu Belig are generally not as big as in some other areas, making it a good place for beginners to learn surfing or enjoy bodyboarding.
Location: It’s between Seminyak and Canggu, providing easy access to the vibrant restaurants, cafes, and shops in both areas while offering a quieter beach experience.
Beachfront Cafes and Bars: Enjoy the local vibe at the charming cafes and bars along the beach, offering meals and drinks with ocean views.
Berawa is more dynamic with its surf scene and trendy venues, while Batu Belig provides a more serene and local feel. Both have stunning Bali sunsets as a highlight. Their proximity allows visitors to experience the attractions of both beaches.
