A wide, sandy-bottomed beach break with shifting A-frame peaks along several kilometres of sand, running through Kuta, Legian and on towards Seminyak. The forgiving sand bottom and multiple peaks make it Bali's default learn-to-surf beach.

Find my Level →Beginner notes
The most beginner-friendly wave in south Bali: soft, sand-bottomed, lifeguarded in the main patrolled zone. Busy with lesson groups most of the day; the main hazard is other boards, not the wave itself.
Hazards
- crowded lineup
- rip currents between flags
- beginner board traffic
