Bukit Peninsula - The southern Peninsula is know as Bukit. Bukit means hill in Indonesian, but was know to the Dutch as Taffelhoek, meaning Table Point. Once a reserve for royal hunting parties and a place of banishment for undesirables. The Bukit peninsula was sparsely inhabited, its only significant site was Pura Luhur Uluwatu the spectacular sea temple at the south west tip of the peninsula.
Bingin, this beach totes a very natural and quiet atmosphere, with few people.
The white sandy beach are complimented with spectacular cliffs and an ever so blue ocean.
Low tide bears the reef, forming tidal pools, while at high tide the beach is almost consumed by the sea.
Experienced surfers love to come here as the waves are near perfect and often form pristine tubes.
The ocean is perfect for swimming and snorkeling as the waves break on a reef about fifty to one hundred meters from the shoreline.
