Balangan

Bali, Indonesia
🪸Sharp reef👥Crowded

Balangan is Bali's approachable gem—a beautiful left-hand reef break on the Bukit Peninsula that offers world-class views and fun, rippable waves without the intensity of Uluwatu or the shallow terror of Bingin. The wave breaks in front of a picturesque crescent beach, providing an accessible paddle and a forgiving reef (by Bali standards). The barrel section delivers when conditions align, while the shoulder offers ample room for turns and progressive surfing. Balangan has become a favorite for surfers seeking Bukit quality in a more relaxed setting.
