Hidden Beaches in Bali by Scooter: Nyang Nyang, Tegal Wangi, Green Bowl & Bias Tugel
By the siappergi.com team · Published · 7 min read · Baca dalam Bahasa Indonesia
Beyond busy beaches like Kuta and Pandawa, Bali still has quiet coves tucked beneath the cliffs. Roads are narrow and parking is tight, so a scooter is the best way to get there. Here's the list and our tips.
Hidden beaches at a glance
| Beach | Area | Access | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nyang Nyang | Uluwatu | A fairly long downhill path | A long, empty beach |
| Tegal Wangi | Jimbaran–Ungasan | Cliff stairs | Rock caves and sunset |
| Green Bowl | Ungasan | Hundreds of steps | Caves and surf |
| Gunung Payung | Kutuh | Concrete stairs | Clean, quieter beach |
| Bias Tugel | Padangbai | Short walk from the harbour | White sand and snorkelling |
Road conditions, stairs, fees and opening hours can change. Follow local staff and watch for surf warnings.
Routes from the tourist areas
- From Kuta/Jimbaran to Tegal Wangi, Green Bowl and Gunung Payung: 30–45 minutes on Bukit roads.
- Nyang Nyang is close to Uluwatu Temple — combine it with our Uluwatu beaches route.
- Bias Tugel: about 1 hour from Sanur to Padangbai — see scooter rental in Candidasa & Padangbai.
- Download offline Google Maps; signal below the cliffs is often weak.
Go early or late. Cliff stairs get very hot at midday, and sunset at Tegal Wangi is the busiest time.
Safety tips
- Don't swim in big surf or where red flags are up.
- Bring water; many beaches have no stalls at the bottom.
- Park in official spots and keep valuables in the scooter's storage.
- Watch for sand and gravel on downhill roads — read riding on sand, gravel and slippery roads.
