Blue Lagoon Beach

Around 1.5 hours drive from Denpasar/Kuta/Canggu, located just past Padangbai (where you can take the ferry over to Nusa Lembongan), lies a tiny bay aptly named Blue Lagoon Beach. Surrounded by black lava rock and with an interesting mixture of both volcanic black sand and delicate white sand, the beach is a real tropical fantasy! Whether you want to lie on the sand reading a book or you’re a proper water baby, this beach provides it all. In fact, if you are a lover of the sea, you’ll be pleased: this is one of the best beaches in Bali for snorkeling, with everything from small tropical fish and starfish to reef sharks and octopus! Top Tip: There are small cactus plants attached to the surrounding black lava rock, so do be careful not to stand on any if you’re exploring the small cove area.
