About Bingin Beach

Bingin is the Bukit's hippy heart — a crescent of bamboo warungs and tumbledown cliffside guesthouses above one of the most perfect left-hand reef breaks in Indonesia. The wave is short, fast and hollow, the after-surf scene is endless beanbags and breakfast bowls, and the sunsets are unbeatable.
