Checking out Bingin Beach Bali

Today was a great day to be in Bali if you love the beach, not necessarily if you are doing beach reviews, but for the folks on holiday it was great.

Bingin was my destination today to gather information to hopefully help others enjoy what it has to offer.

I talked to people. took notes as well as photos and you will read my report very soon. Getting back around 8pm I was totally shagged and wanted to give my photo editing a chance to be descent.

Bingin as many will already know, is located on the western side of the Bukit peninsula and is a hot spot for surfing. A sandy beady at mid-high tide is great for the non-surfers and the view from the cliffs are lovely.

Surfers flock to Bingin because of the wonderful way the waves wrap around the edge of the reef forming a perfect wave. Today there was swell, maybe about 5ft and around a dozen locals seemed to be enjoying it. Winds today were onshore, meaning blowing from the ocean to the shore. Ideal conditions are offshore winds which keep the face of the wave open longer. Bali gets good offshore winds around July as so that is when Bingin and the other Bukit beaches will see a lot of business. Still, if you are okay with a less crowded wave and some onshore slop no worries, come out in March.

During my adventures today I got close to the locals and their animals, brings thoughts of how Bali must of been before the mass tourism hit, crossing someones field to get to the beach.

Here is a test I did on Ika to see if she is professional material.
