Tegal Wangi Beach is a tucked away slice of paradise in the southern region of Bali. Pantai Tegal Wangi is a popular spot where the locals like to hang out on the cliffs and on the pristine beach below.
Not many tourists know about Tegal Wangi as they are drawn towards the more popular beaches in Uluwatu. In saying that, now is the perfect time to explore Pantai Tegal Wangi before it becomes the new hot spot location!

Have you got travel insurance for Bali? I know that nobody likes to talk about this stuff but accidents happen all the time and having travel insurance can save you thousands of dollars if something goes wrong. You can read more about why you need travel insurance.
I have been using World Nomads Travel Insurance on every trip and in my opinion, they are without a doubt the best travel insurance provider on the market. I always choose the World Nomads Explorer Plan as it covers just about everything.
WHERE TO FIND TEGAL WANGI BEACH
Tegal Wangi Beach is located in the southern region of Bali known as The Bukit Peninsula.
If you are staying in the Uluwatu region you can rent a scooter for approximately 50,000 Rupiah per day and make your way over to Tegal Wangi Beach.
If you are coming from Kuta, Seminyak or Canggu it is approximately a 1-hour to 1.5-hour journey to Tegal Wangi Beach.
For scooter rentals, you can ask your accommodation to organise this as they are always able to help.
Alternatively, keep your eyes peeled along the main roads in the Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta and Uluwatu regions and you will be sure to find a scooter rental shop.

ARRIVING AT TEGAL WANGI BEACH
There is a small carpark on your left-hand side when you arrive at Tegal Wangi Beach.
Sometimes the gates for the carpark are open and you can park inside for a small fee of 2,000 Rupiah. If the gates are locked you can park up anywhere outside the gates on the gravel patches.
There is no entrance fee to visit this wonderful beach haven unlike most of the beaches down in Uluwatu. You will see a dirt trail from the carpark that leads directly to the top of the cliffs at Tegal Wangi Beach.

Sunset at Tegal Wangi Beach
WHAT TO EXPECT AT TEGAL WANGI
The viewpoint from the top of Tegal Wangi offers spectacular views of rugged cliffs and electric blue water along the southern coastline of the Bukit Peninsula. The furthest cliff point you can see from this viewpoint is the more popular Balangan Beach.
The Tegal Wangi Beach Rock Pools
Take the stairs down to the beach beneath the cliffs and discover the several natural rock pools that can be found on the exposed coral reef. The natural jacuzzi like pools fills up with water with each crashing wave that rolls in from the ocean.
On sunset, you can get a fantastic reflection photo along the edge of the rock pools.
The Tegal Wangi Beach Caves
Stroll along the sand to the very end of Tegal Wangi Beach until you can go no further and you will find two caves underneath the cliffs.
The first cave is a small little dugout in the cliff that is progressively becoming larger with the bigger swells that hit this particular coastline.
The second cave is much larger and more impressive than the 1st. It is around five meters tall and five meters deep. This is the perfect secluded spot to lay down a sarong and listen to the waves echo throughout the cave as they crash on to the shoreline.
You can take a photo from inside the cave facing out over the horizon for a cool perspective.

Thank you for this site- it’s been my go-to for all questions while putting together my itinerary for Bali! I was curious if it’s possible to walk along the sand to go from beach to beach? We are staying near Balangan Beach but I would like to walk to Tegal Wangi.

Hi Amanda, thanks for using my blog to help you plan your adventures. I am glad you have found it useful. Unfortunately you can’t walk along the sand to reach tegal wangi from balangan, you’ll have to drive there and walk down from the top of the carpark. Hope this helps and enjoy.
