Padang Padang<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having enough of visiting Dreamland that is now changed into New Kuta Beach (I&#8217;ll tell you more about this on my next post) and became so touristy (thanks to local tourists and the new investor of a so called &#8216;the largest and most comprehensive leisure spot in Bali&#8217;), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.risanto.com\">Benny<\/a> &amp; me spotted this white sand beach with crystal clear water, not so big wave, tranquil, from the bridge of Labuan Sait. Our favorite activity here is eating <em>Rujak Mangga<\/em> (Manggo Fruit Salad with sweet palm sugar sauce) and watching fishermen drop fresh barracudas to the warung owners to make a mouth watering grilled fish!! and off course, the big rock is perfect as a hiding place for a nap in the afternoon while having your skin tanned..<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Padang Padang Beach - Top 5 Beaches in Bali - BeeAmazing.com\" src=\"http:\/\/www.risanto.com\/beeamazing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/bali-favorite-beach-padang-padang-1.jpg\" alt=\"Padang Padang Beach - Top 5 Beaches in Bali - BeeAmazing.com\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More bungalows and private villas are built in the surrounding area, my only concern is that Padang Padang will soon\u00a0turn to be the next Dreamland Beach or even worse : Kuta Beach! The promotion of this beach where <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asia.ripcurl.com\/?padangpadang08\">RIP CURL CUP <\/a>is usually held is done from mouth to ear, and that&#8217;s how I see more local tourists from Jakarta or Surabaya come to this place specially during holiday season. . \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Padang Padang Beach - Top 5 Beaches in Bali - BeeAmazing.com\" src=\"http:\/\/www.risanto.com\/beeamazing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/bali-favorite-beach-padang-padang-2.jpg\" alt=\"Padang Padang Beach - Top 5 Beaches in Bali - BeeAmazing.com\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. Bingin<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First time I came here was to watch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surf-time.com\/contest_surf\/detail\/18.htm\">OAKLEY ProSurf competition<\/a>, it&#8217;s definitely one of Bali best surfing destination as the wave form a pristine tube. I was watching one of my favorite Indonesia Top surfer, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thememagazine.com\/stories\/rizal-tanjung\/\">Rizal Tanjung<\/a> on this competition back then. You can also see they are building new bungalows on the cliff, but at least they still have local warung style with funky wooden signage of &#8216;cyber cafe&#8217; or &#8216;ding repair&#8217; and the accommodation there are built in a more tropical style than a modern one. You can bring your snorkeling gear as the waves break on a reef about fifty to one hundred meters from the shoreline. Just be prepared to hike down the narrow dirt path and on high tide, be careful with the unseen reef on the shore.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Bingin Beach - Top 5 Beaches in Bali - BeeAmazing.com\" src=\"http:\/\/www.risanto.com\/beeamazing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/bali-favorite-beach-bingin-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bingin Beach - Top 5 Beaches in Bali - BeeAmazing.com\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Bingin Beach - Top 5 Beaches in Bali - BeeAmazing.com\" src=\"http:\/\/www.risanto.com\/beeamazing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/bali-favorite-beach-bingin-2.jpg\" alt=\"Bingin Beach - Top 5 Beaches in Bali - BeeAmazing.com\" width=\"630\" height=\"467\" \/><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">3.
