Keramas Beach in Gianyar, about 30–45 minutes east of Sanur, is a black volcanic-sand beach that's legendary among surfers. Its waves form a fast, powerful right-hand reef break good enough to host international pro surf competitions. The atmosphere is far calmer than the crowded south, with rice fields and open sky behind the shore.
Why Keramas Is Special
Beyond its wave quality, Keramas offers experiences hard to find elsewhere in Bali.
- Night surfing under stadium lights at the Komune Resort & Beach Club area — a rare, unique experience.
- Dramatic sunrises — facing east, Keramas is ideal for sunrise rather than sunset.
- Waves for intermediate–advanced surfers — not an ideal spot for beginners due to the reef bottom.
- Several beach clubs and warungs to relax and watch the surfers.
Visiting Tips
The best time to surf is the dry season (around April–October) in the morning when the wind is still offshore. Because the bottom is reef, beginners should watch or take a lesson with a local instructor. Bring footwear as the black sand can get hot midday, and come early to enjoy the quiet sunrise.
