Padangbai

Descend the high cliffs into Binging Beach and you’ll be faced with a stunning dash of Balinese beachfront. The Impossibles reefs on the south end meet a neatly curling reef break right in front to cater to those with the board in tow. Most choose to surf the latter, which means things can get a little busy at sunset and prime tide times. However, Bingin ain’t just for the wave hunters. There are bamboo-built bars where cold Bintang is the order of choice. And there’s always room to lay the towel and soak up the rays under the speckling of boulders on the sand.
