Black-sand beach at the mouth of Balian River

Charming Balian Beach is located 30km west of Tabanan. Some good surf is to be had here, with accommodation choices on offer reflecting the beach's growing popularity. Watch the local fisherman cast their nets near the river mouth at low tide or explore the nearby palm groves and rice paddys. Alternatively, grab a post-surf snack at one of the beachfront cafes before paddling out again for another session.
