Balangan Beach lies some 40 minutes outside Kuta but it feels as if you are in another world.
If you want to get away from the crowds then this is the place to do it, and you will find pristine sands and a great surf break if you want to try some surfing.
The beach sits at the bottom of a set of craggy cliffs and you can walk down a steep set of stairs cut into the cliff side in order to access the beach.
It takes a little effort to get to this secluded beach but it is more than worth it for the views and you will find a range of cafes and warungs where you can have a spot of lunch or relax and look at the sunset with a beer.
