FAQs on Beaches in Sanur

Is Sanur good for swimming?

Yes, and it is the best of southern Bali for it. A reef about a kilometre offshore breaks the swell, so the water is flat and shallow. The trade-off is that it goes very shallow at low tide.

Who does Sanur suit?

Families and older visitors, mainly. It is quieter and lower-rise than Seminyak or Canggu, with a five-kilometre paved beachfront path that is good for walking and cycling.

Sunrise or sunset?

Sunrise. Sanur is on the east coast, which catches people out. For sunset you need the west coast at Seminyak, Canggu or Tanah Lot, about forty-five minutes away.

Can I get to the Nusa islands from Sanur?

Yes, and this is where almost all of them leave from. Fast boats to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan run through the morning from the beach itself, taking thirty to forty-five minutes.

Is there surf at Sanur?

A reef break offshore that works for experienced surfers at the right tide, reached by boat. The beach itself has no shore break, which is exactly why it suits swimmers.
