Here are some Echo Beach in Bali surfing pictures and video from my last trip there in June 2011. Echo Beach is located in the Canggu area just outside Kuta. It is also one of the secluded beaches where only locals and surfers come to enjoy it.

As I was staying just by the sea, every morning and afternoon, I would see all sorts of surfers here waiting to catch ‘the one,’ that big wave everyone waits for. As I sat on the beach enjoying my iced Balinese coffee and 300mm lens in hand, I snapped away as these guys and girls rode the waves.

While most of the surfers here are expats working in Bali, a few travelers were seen walking on the beach with their surfboards. According to a local surfer, this place is pretty quiet and a great place to practice surfing.The waves here hit about 2-3 meters high and are quite frequent at certain sections of Canggu Beach. However, this place is not the top surfing spot in Bali, Indonesia.

Beautiful waves at Echo Beach.
Most surfers head to the main beach here, where there are two rows of shops, restaurants, and the well-known Echo Beach House, a seafood restaurant facing the sea. Among the many other surf shops and schools here, you will find friendly surfers from around the world.
And if you come early in the mornings, there will be less people here, making it easy to photograph the surfers as there would probably be a few early surfers at Echo Beach.

For the average surfer, this place is a wonderland where you can go out and do your thing. The surf spots are stretched along two kilometers of this beautiful beach. You will also see local Indonesian families and kids playing along the beach while people take their pet dogs for walks on the beach.

This is not your average beach where you come to swim and enjoy; it is more for the locals and surfers. From my observation, the sand is so much more beautiful than the main Kuta Beach.

Conclusion

Update Dec 2017—Since my last visit here in 2011, Canggu and Echo Beach have become the top places to be seen in Bali. Hordes of visitors are seen here, and it has developed into a popular tourist spot. I’ve revisited Bali over 10 times since 2017, and much has changed here. So, please take note.

I spent a good three days along this beach, staying at the Hotel Tugu Bali, which is just around the corner. There, I got my fix of photographing Surfers at Echo Beach in Bali.
