Bali is surrounded by coral reefs. Beaches in the south tend to have white sand while those in the north and west have black sand. The beach town of Padangbai in the southeast has both. Some Bali beaches are wide, long and easy accessible, with swaying palm trees. Other beaches are hard to get to, and often located in a tiny bay right below huge cliffs. In some areas of Bali the ocean is calm and perfect for swimming, snorkeling or diving. In other parts of the island there are high waves and strong currents, which make Bali one of the best surf spots in the world.
