Tanjung Benoa Beach
Beach in Tanjung Benoa (South Bali).
Tanjung Benoa Beach lines the east side of the narrow peninsula north of Nusa Dua, facing a shallow lagoon sheltered by a reef. It is the base for Bali's water sports, with parasailing, jet skis, banana boats and glass-bottom boat trips leaving from the sand. Jet skis and speedboats share the water, so swimmers do best to stay clear of the activity zones.
