Bingin Beach
Beach in Pecatu (South Bali).
Bingin Beach is a small white-sand beach at the foot of steep cliffs on the west coast of the Bukit Peninsula, reached by a steep walk down from the clifftop. Its left-hand reef break is one of the Bukit's classic surf spots, and the bottom is reef and rock, so water shoes help. In July 2025 the authorities demolished dozens of unlicensed cliffside cafes and guesthouses; the beach stays open, but rubble and rough access remain while the area is redeveloped.
