Set in an abandoned limestone quarry, the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park is a definite eye-opener for everybody, and offers a refreshing change of scenery from the typical beaches. Gain a glimpse into Bali’s local culture with gigantic Hindu statues and traditional dance performances! Thereafter, head to Gunung Payung Beach, where you can have a sumptuous picnic on soft, white sand and try out surfing with the whole family. Psst…This hidden enclave of a beach remains pristine because it remains relatively unknown, so you can revel in all of its unspoilt beauty.
#2: Sanur Beach and Lapangan Renon
Sanur Beach is so family-friendly because it has something for everyone! You can hire tiny inflatable floats for children, while the older ones can go wild with an assortment of watersports, ranging from windsurfing to parasailing. Don’t miss this opportunity to capture those exhilarating moments with your personal drone photographer! Pop by warungs or beachfront cafes for a delicious meal, browse for souvenirs in the art markets, or simply bask in the warmth of the sun’s rays.
On the other hand, Lapangan Renon is a lively public park in Bali where you’ll find yourself off the tourist trail, mingling with good-natured locals exercising everywhere. You’ll see them jogging, walking, playing football, doing yoga, or having a picnic amidst the beautiful gardens, enjoying a slow pace of life!
#3: Waterblow and Nusa Dua Temple

Ready for an epic splash? Visit the Waterblow during high tide, and you’ll be amazed at the forces of nature, as the strong waves crash against the jagged limestone edges of the cliff.
