Jimbaran beach, Bali

Jalan Pantai Jimbaran, Jimbaran, Bali

Description

Jimbaran was until a few years ago primarily a fishing village located just south of Bali airport. The crescent-shaped beach is west-facing with calm waters and the beige-coloured sand is quite fine. The stretch is popular for its fresh seafood restaurants with tables right on the beach and the southern end has moved markedly upmarket with several luxury hotel developments.

Access & Transport

Jimbaran can be reached by using the Jl. Bypass Ngurah Rai. The beach is 18km from the Kuta-Seminyak stretch and 20km from Denpasar.

Instructions & Recommendations

Don't forget the usual protective equipment (hat/cap, "green" sunblock, sunglasses, slippers) and some water.

Meta review

Mostly positive reviews for this beach that is increasingly featured in travel blogs. Tourists enjoy the scenery, sunset, soft sand, lunch or dinner of grilled seafood with their feet in the sand, the lack of entrance fees and the calm waters. The main drawbacks are the increasing amount of plastic pollution (on the beach and in the water) and the seafood pricing which is comparatively expensive Vs the rest of Bali.

Environmental & Social

Environmentally and socially marginally positive: no direct carbon footprint and some economic activity from tourism (hotels are not in scope)

Conclusion

Definitely one of the best beach options in South Bali and visually very pleasant. Recommended for those who want to avoid the Kuta crowds or stay away from the waves and surfers.

Key positive

Lunch or dinner on the beach

Family-friendly beach

Key negative

Water and sand not always clean

Suitability

Suitable for all ages and accessible to visitors with reduced mobility
