Bingin Beach,Bali
Bingin Beach is a small, cliff-fringed beach on the Bukit Peninsula of Bali, near Uluwatu. It is significant primarily as a natural and cultural landmark in Bali's surfing circuit—renowned for its consistent reef break and vibrant local surf culture. The beach's limestone cliffs, coral reef systems, and scenic sunset views contribute to its natural importance. It also sits within an area dotted with Hindu temples and traditional Balinese villages, reflecting the island's living cultural landscape.
