Just came across a “subjective Bali Best Beach list”, an informative article with short beach reviews and plenty of pictures, gives you a quick overview of beaches in Nusa Dua (Mengiat, Geger), Jimbaran (Muaya, Kedonganan, Balangan), Pecatu (Dreamland), Kuta, Legian Beach, Kerobokan (Batu Belig), Canggu (Echo), Sanur, Lovina Beach and Amed.
List hopefully to be continued.
Keep in mind that many Bali beaches are afflicted with dangerous riptides and undercurrents. So please take care while having fun in the water.
