Gegar Beach
Worth a day trip from anywhere in south Bali, Gegar Beach has a string of tidy stands on the sand that offer drinks and snacks plus a few that rent out umbrellas, loungers and water sports gear for kayaking, wind-surfing etc. Expats in the know mob the place on weekends; on weekdays it's very quiet.

Kuta Beach

Bias Tugal
Walk southwest from the ferry terminal and follow the trail up the hill to idyllic Bias Tugal, also known as Pantai Kecil (Little Beach), on the exposed coast outside the bay. Be careful in the water; as it is subject to strong currents. There are a couple of daytime warung here.
