Sharks are responsible for an average of ten fatalities per year worldwide.

The Bukit Peninsula is home to some of the most famous breaks in Bali like Uluwatu and Padang Padang, and Canggu is full of beach break peaks and a good option for beginner and intermediate surfers.

Could you recommend the best way to get to these spots if travelling alone? Hi Jimmy! Some of the best beginner spots can be found at Canggu, Padang Padang Right a soft inside right , Balangan and Dreamland which are all on the other side of the coast.
As for intermediate spots, in my experience, places like Uluwatu, Impossibles, and many other breaks can be alright for an experienced intermediate surfer on the right day smaller swells and tides usually a mid to higher tide. There are lots of strong currents to navigate and very shallow and dry reefs to watch out for. A scooter is a great way to get around, but I would strongly suggest you seek out an experienced local guide or surf camp so you could pick up valuable insights that could make all the difference before going it alone.

Hi Seth, our pleasure! Check out Balangan for sure. It can get busy but usually not too crowded. Impossibles is a fun wave for intermediate level surfers on smaller days, but there is not much of a beach unless you go around the corner to Bingin which is only a few hundred yards south. Best to hit on a mid to lower tide. Hope you score some fun ones! Enjoy your trip! Hi Carmelina, Thanks for your kind words!
