Chase waterfalls and surf the beaches

Beyond the temples, Bali is an outdoor playground, and much of it is cheap or free. The island's jungle waterfalls, like Tegenungan near Ubud and the dramatic falls of the north, charge only a small entry fee, while the beaches are the heart of the south. Bali is one of the best places in the world to learn to surf, with gentle beginner waves at Kuta and Canggu and group lessons that are superb value. Whether you want to swim, surf or simply watch the sunset, the coast delivers. We'll suggest the best beaches for beginners and the waterfalls worth the trip.
