well with all kind of surfing levels. Along the coastline you will find beaches with different names, such
as the Canggu Beach, Echo Beach, Batu Bolong Beach, Berawa Beach, Seseh Beach, and Pererenan Beach.

CANGGU BEACH
Canggu beach was listed as one of the 100 best beaches in the world by CNN in 2013. This beach is not only offer a perfect spot for surfing, but also the perfect view. The long white curling waves that meet the sparkling black sand bring an impressive golden reflection of sunset. Pause yourself a little, while marveling the shifting of time, here in Bali.

But then, the popularity of a restaurant named Echo Beach Club, has made the original name being overshadowed. Along your way to the beach, you will experience the accompaniment of lustrous rice fields that are well kept by the local villagers. This beach has brownish grey sand with some big coral reef on sight. This beach is suitable for advance surfers.
BATU BOLONG BEACH
Batu Bolong is translated as Rock with a Hole. This name literally came from the iconic natural landmark of a huge coral reef that shape like it forms a hole in the middle of it. Just like the other beaches around
North Kuta, the black sand gives a picturesque reflection of sunset. Definitely a photographic must go for view hunters.
BERAWA BEACH
When people are mentioning Berawa Beach, most of them will refer to the one near Finns Beach Club,
but actually Berawa Beach is quite a long one. The black sand beach stretches from the Yeh Poh estuary
up to Pura Perancak for about 2 Km. Not just for surfers, here you can absolutely just simply enjoy the
breath-taking view. If you are lucky enough, you might also encounter the local fishermen coming from
the sea. This is also the reason why some area of this beach is also known as Nelayan Beach (Fishermen
Beach)
SESEH BEACH
Seseh Beach is about 17 Km away from Kuta Beach. Although it is situated next to the Echo Beach, this
beach is actually a part of the district of Mengwi. This is a nice secluded beach where things are more tranquil. Feel free to immerse yourself in the sand, enjoying the abundant sun and warm breeze. Walk
along the serenity of rice fields and hear the nature surround you.
PERERENAN BEACH

Gajah Mina, a Balinese Hindu mythological creature with the head of an elephant and body of a fish. Here you can also venture along the beach with a guided horse-back riding experience, or simply enjoy a
romantic walk with your love one at sunset.
