How to get to Bingin beach Bali
Bingin beach is located along the western coastline in the region Pecatu, surrounded by hilly landscapes with limestone cliffs and isolated small beaches. The best way to get to get around Bali is on a scooter. You can rent scooters in the main tourist hubs throughout Bali like Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Ubud, and Uluwatu. Expect to pay around 50,000 – 100,000 IDR per day to rent a scooter. The longer you will rent a scooter, the cheaper it gets (depending on your bar gaining skills 
From the Kuta, Seminyak or Canggu region, it’s approximately a 1-hour to 1.5-hour journey to this area of the island depending on traffic around Kuta. Alternatively, you can also rent a car or private driver if you are not comfortable driving a scooter yourself.
What to expect at Bingin beach
Once you arrive at the top of Bingin beach you’ll see that it is a dead end road. But broken surfboards make clear where to park your moped which costs 2,000 IDR.
From the car park, you’ll see signs on broken surfboards that lead you to the stairs where you can make your way down. First you walk through a small alley before getting a first glimpse of the beach. From the winding stairs along the cliff top houses you will get the feeling as if you’re in Greece. The homes here have a more Mediterranean style so you’ll almost forget that you’re in Bali! It’s only a few minutes of walking down the stairs so nothing too strenuous.
Once your feet touch the sand you will feel that it’s perfect soft white sand. Very different than the beaches around Canggu. Restaurants are set up on the beach and serve food all day long. If you’re planning to stay the whole day then make sure to try the fresh fish on the BBQ at Lucky restaurant!
Bingin is also a very popular beach for surfers so you will see them often running up and down the beach to catch the waves. If you want to stay overnight then there are plenty of accommodations around Bingin with beautiful ocean view.

All the beaches in Bali are affected by the tide. This means that you need to take into account when it’s high tide or low tide. Especially when you want to surf, snorkel or do any other water activity. Check the tide times for this beach here.
