Batu Belig Beach

About

Welcome to Batu Belig Beach, the legendary heart of the gay sunbathing scene in Bali. While the island may not have 'official' rainbow sands, Batu Belig has long reigned as the premier unofficial gay beach for the community. Nestled perfectly between the upscale boutiques of Seminyak and the trendy surf breaks of Canggu, this stretch of golden sand is an essential pin on any global gay map. The most popular LGBTQ+ hangout area is located toward the northern end of the beach, conveniently close to landmarks like the W Bali - Seminyak and the Grand Balisani Suites. Here, you’ll find a vibrant mix of local gay men and international queer travelers lounging on rented sunbeds, sipping ice-cold Bintang, and soaking in the world-famous Balinese sunsets. The atmosphere is more relaxed and intimate than the main tourist drags, making it the perfect spot to forge new connections in a welcoming environment. As the golden hour fades, Batu Belig serves as the ultimate pre-party destination. It’s a scenic and easy transition from a day of tanning to a night of high-energy drag shows at the queer-friendly bars on Jalan Camplung Tanduk. For those looking for the perfect blend of tropical relaxation and community spirit, Batu Belig Beach remains the gold standard for queer travel in Bali.
