Bingin Beach Accommodation – Bali
Bingin beach is located on the Bukit which means “hill” in Indonesian, and one of the area’s main attractions is elevation. On its west coast, white limestone cliffs contrast dramatically against the brilliant blue of the Indian Ocean lapping along its pristine coastline, and the views from this region are simply breathtaking.
The Bukit’s other attraction? The same reason it sat idle for so long – it’s tucked up and out of the way, which appeals to those looking for somewhere quiet and serene to spend vacation time. The Bukit is only a short drive to Kuta or the tourist strip of Legian, but a world apart from the maddening crowd.
Thanks to a handful of small boutique resorts, private villas and guesthouse bungalows, the Bukit has evolved beyond being simply a surfer’s paradise to become one of those rare enchanting places where people from all walks of life can find their own ideal holiday getaway.
FAQs
Can you swim in Bingin Beach?
Yes, you can swim at Bingin Beach, especially during mid to high tide when the reef is covered. However, it’s important to be cautious as the waves and currents can be strong, and the reef is shallow at low tide. If you’re unsure, our local team can advise the best times for a safe swim.
Can you walk from Bingin to Dreamland Beach?
Yes, it’s possible to walk from Bingin to Dreamland Beach during low tide along the shoreline. It’s about a 10–15 minute scenic walk over the rocks. We recommend reef-safe footwear. At BaliRetreats.com.au, we can recommend beachfront stays that make this coastal walk a highlight of your visit.
Do you have to pay to enter Bingin Beach?
No, you don’t need to buy an entry ticker or anything like that to access to Bingin Beach. If you drive, it typically costs a small entrance/parking fee of around IDR 5,000–10,000 ($0.50–$1 AUD), depending on where you park. Some warungs or properties may charge a small additional fee if using their stairs or facilities. Booking through us ensures easy directions and advice on the best access points.
Is Bingin Beach good for beginner surfers?
Bingin is better suited to intermediate and advanced surfers due to its fast, shallow reef break. Beginners may prefer nearby Padang Padang Right or Dreamland. We can help you book surf lessons at more beginner-friendly beaches while staying close to the action.
How many steps down to Bingin Beach?

Yes, surfboards can be rented directly on Bingin Beach from local warungs or surf stalls. Rates are generally affordable. For guests booking with Bali Retreats, we can suggest accommodations that offer surfboard hire or connect you with trusted local rental services.
Do you have to pay to go to Padang Padang Beach?

What is the cleanest beach in Bali?
