Bali is known as the island of paradise to many. One of the reasons why tourists is constantly flocking is because of the beautiful and alluring beaches the island offers. These beaches have white soft sand, good waves to surf and offshore reefs that are perfect for scuba diving. Some of the famous beaches include Sanur beach: excellent place to watch sunrise, Kuta and Legian beach: popular for surfing, Jimbaran: famous for seafood, Nusa Dua: suitable for swimming, Lovina beach: able to see dolphins, Candi Dasa Beach: snorkeling and diving.

With resorts, hotels and tourists packed on these beaches, much environmental impacts have occurred. Some of the negative environmental impact that has already taken its toll includes 48 of Bali’s beaches having undergone acute erosion. This has resulted in the coastline having lost 181.7 kilometers of land this last decade, which amounts to 41.5 percent of the island's total shoreline.
