Beach description
The Bingin Coast is one of the most secluded and least crowded beaches on this Indonesian island. Of particular interest to him are limestone cliffs with dense greenery, which cut out almost the entire coast, and solitary cliffs and boulders rise even above ocean waters near the coast.
To the section of Bingin beach with coarse white sand, you need to wade through a series of uneven rocks and stones. It seems that the ancient gods themselves took care of maintaining the pristine attractiveness of this coast, guarding it with cliff guards. Only those who are willing to overcome all the difficulties on the way to Bingin Beach, come here, namely:
- professional surfers dreaming of conquering the most complex waves;
- amateur photographers wishing to get the most spectacular photos;
- true romantics who want to enjoy some of the most exotic sunsets in Bali and experience an atmosphere of unique relaxation;
- lovers of oriental philosophy, yoga and meditation on the paradise coast.
Bingin Beach is famous for its very clear waters and powerful high (up to 2.5 m) left-sided waves that break near the reefs near the coast. They are rated as one of the most difficult to conquer. Therefore, surfing is available only to experienced professional surfers. But it was these conditions that secured him the glory of the best surf spot in Bali.
During the low tide, the widest sand strip opens, so this is the best time to visit the beach for those who do not dream of conquering high waves. A significant area of shallow water is observed near the coast, but it should be borne in mind that the bottom here is very rocky and completely unsuitable for barefoot without slippers.
When is it better to go?
The air temperature throughout the year differs little and keeps within + 28-30 degrees. In the evening and at night, it is slightly cooler, but the thermometer rarely falls below +23 degrees. The water temperature is also stable. In order to avoid the rainy season (months from December to March), it is better to visit the country from May to August.
