Nusa Dua (Geger Beach)
An upscale spot on Bali's Bukit Peninsula where an offshore coral reef forms a shallow lagoon of flat-to-light-chop water, framed by one of the island's prettiest beaches. Wind here is lighter and less reliable than Sanur, and the spot is used mostly by local and more experienced riders.
