Dry season (April to October) is generally best for sun, surf consistency and clearer skies; peak surf and swell months are typically May to September. Rainy season (November to March) can bring heavy showers and stronger, less predictable currents.

Tropical climate: typical daytime temperatures range from 24°C to 32°C (75–90°F). Humidity is high year-round; expect brief heavy showers in the wet season.

Located on the Bukit Peninsula near Uluwatu, Balangan is about 25–35 km from Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) International Airport — roughly 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic. Access to the sand requires descending a set of steps or a steep path from the cliff-top parking area; the walk can be uneven and slippery when wet. Public transport is limited; the most convenient ways to reach the beach are by rental scooter, private car, or taxi/ride-hailing service. Parking is available but limited near the cliffs.

A half-day (2–4 hours) is enough to enjoy the beach and sunset; surfers may want a full day. Combine a visit with nearby Uluwatu or Padang Padang for a full-day itinerary.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, swimwear, sturdy sandals for the descent, a rash guard if surfing, and plenty of water. If you plan to snorkel or surf, bring or rent appropriate gear and check tide/currents beforehand.

Try simple beach warung dishes such as grilled fish, nasi goreng and fresh coconut water. Souvenirs nearby include sarongs, small handicrafts and surf-related items from local stalls or nearby towns.
