If so, you can\u2019t miss out on the south of Bali. That little tip at the bottom of the map &#8211; that is where all those stunning white sand beaches are located. This hilly area, also known as <strong>\u2018the Bukit\u2019 or \u2018Bukit Peninsula\u2019<\/strong>, features high ocean cliffs and down at the bottom of those cliffs, you will find one gorgeous beach after another. There are easily accessible beaches, hidden beaches and those beaches that require a little bit of extra efforts to get there. Our advice is to hop on a scooter and go drive around the coastline. Jimbaran, Balangan, Dreamlands, Bingin, Padang Padang, Nang Nyang, Green Bowl, Pandawa, Geger Beach and Nusa Dua.&nbsp; Indeed, there are a lot of them! The southern tip of Bali is a beach and swimmers paradise as much as a surfers haven. There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-finder.com\/en\/bukit-peninsula?utm_source=vf-blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=bali-activities\">villas in Bukit Peninsula<\/a> too!
