Sanur Beach is hands down my favorite sunrise spot in Bali. The vibe here is so much more relaxed compared to the busier southern beaches. I love how the golden morning light hits the traditional jukung fishing boats lined up along the shore - it's absolutely magical.
What makes it 5-star worthy:
- The calm turquoise waters are perfect for swimming (no crazy waves here)
- The 5km paved beach walk is ideal for morning jogs or bike rides
- Local warungs serve amazing nasi campur right on the sand
- Less crowded than Kuta/Seminyak but still has great amenities
- Stunning sunrise views over Nusa Penida on clear days
Don't miss:
✓ Breakfast at one of the beachfront cafes
✓ Renting a bike to explore the coastline
✓ The Sunday morning market when it's on
Pro tips:
1. Arrive by 5:30am for prime sunrise viewing
2. Bring small cash for fresh coconut vendors
3. Water shoes help with some rocky sections
Sanur proves you don't need wild parties to have an amazing beach experience. The peaceful atmosphere, gorgeous views, and local charm make it my top-rated beach in Bali. Perfect for families, couples, or anyone needing a tranquil escape!
