Berawa Beach
Beach in Tibubeneng (South Bali).
Berawa Beach is a stretch of dark gray volcanic sand in Tibubeneng, at the southern end of the Canggu coast, a short walk southeast of Nelayan and Batu Bolong beaches. Waves breaking over reef and sand draw surfers, and cafes and beach clubs such as Finns and Atlas line the shore, where people gather for the sunset. Rip currents and a heavy shore break make it a poor place to swim.
