Bukit Peninsula




I spent four days on the Bukit Peninsula.  Visited the famous Uluwatu Temple and the Uluwatu surf beach.  Also Padang-Padang, Bingin, and Balangan beaches.  These are among several beaches on a line between Jimbaran and Uluwatu.  Balangan was my favorite.  The others were over-built.

I stayed two nights in a rented house in Balangan village, and another two nights in room in a warung right on the beach.  The building was all bamboo and raised up on poles.  At high tide the waves roll up underneath.

The beaches are white sand, lots of coral, great snorkeling and great surfing.  Most of the breaks are for advanced surfers, but Balangan has room for beginners.
