Balangan Beach is easily reached from Kuta, with many local hotels offering a handy shuttle service. It’s also just a kilometre away from another Balinese beach icon: Dreamland. When you arrive, refresh yourself with ice cream and/or ice-cold beer from one of the beachside warungs.
During high season, Balangan is packed with tourists and children begging for tips. Its view of the ocean makes for a picturesque ocean swim, but beware of jellyfish!
