Bingin

  Bingin Beach is a place many people end up missing, this is a very hard place to find. It used to be called "the last secret spot in bali". Not so many people/tourists which come to bali know about this place. they miss it while they are on their way to Padang or Uluwatu, its a small sign and a small side street. In my opinion this is the best surfing destination for me and the most relaxing place. When you arrive at bingin, you walk through small streets and then head down through a bunch of stairs. all the accommodations and restaurants are build on top of the cliff of on the cliff. Looking down the cliff you see the wave in Bingin to your left and Impossibles to your right. depending.

This is the view from the bottom of the beach looking up the cliff. in front are a couple surf repair shops and some warungs. warungs means restaurant in indonesian. Bingin is a rocky sandy beach. There is a lot of ambiance. In the evening there is seafood barbecue on the beach which the locals prepare for us, they set the tables along the side of the beach. It gets dark at night so you would have to carry flashlights for you to see when you are climbing up and down the stairs

Its Bali's shortest, most makable tube ride, best at mid to low tide. This wave is suitable for beginners at high tide, thats when it does not tube and your safe from hitting the reef below. When its low tide remember to pull of before the inside sucks dry, you will end up having some nasty cuts. The crowd at bingin is always crowded, there is such a small take off point and every surfer crowds around that area.
Bingin is a really fun wave and you always meet people in the water out there. i personally love bingin
