Balian Beach

However, the waves lick into steep wedges that crash both left and right around a river mouth. Behind them is the beginnings of a chilled-out surf village, with a few cafes and hostel camps up its sleeve.

Balian Beach is a beautiful location with waves that range from 2-12 feet so it does attract all levels of surfers. There's plenty of room, plenty of waves and the vibe is very relaxed here. It's best to go early morning before 11AM as there can be a strong onshore wind in the afternoon.
