Be careful of the money exchange at the beach line and on the street that goes to the beach. Those 2 money exchange places tried to cheat and present 7000 IDR like it was 70000...
Here are the location of those 2 places.

The beach and restaurants are fantastic. What completely ruined it was the market stall ladies, they came from all directions and got really close. We are very good at saying no but these ladies were something else. At this moment in time we’re sitting in a café planning our escape, the best plan we have is my husband desperately needs a poop so hopefully they’ll run away 🤪😂

The stretch of beach formed part of a long walk and it was great to see it again. Previously we have stayed in the area but we were much further away this time so it was nice to be back.
It is very busy in places and there seems to be a lot of renovation that has got rid of one or two of the beach clubs. Nevertheless, they’re still places you can rent beach furniture to relax and enjoy the sea breezes.
Plenty of eateries is around as well so they really is something for everyone and now they have widened the path. It really is a lot better..

The is a wonderful boardwalk with many eateries and beautiful beaches....hard to beat. Can rent a chair if you want to swim. Some restaurants let you use chair on the beach for free if you order food or a drink.f

Many businesses in area have close over pandemic e.g., on Sindhu St leading to beach.
Beach has interesting rock groynes worth a walk and selfie if you’re inclined.
Fear this area will become on my to avoid list given that monstrous construction
of shopping mall and resort next to beach.
Will look more to central & south Sanur in future.

Really an extension of Sanur Beach with a broad sandy area between buildings and sea. Plenty of activities underway by the time we arrived. A number of groynes have been constructed to serve as barriers to large waves and a footpath runs the length of the beachfront. Very similar facilities to Sanur Beach.

Walking along the beach path under the trees makes for so many gorgeous photos and then dining at cafes along the beach...on the sand as well as swimming makes this beach a must for travelers to Bali !!

An otherwise lovely beach is blighted by this operation in a small shed with open sides. It was very upsetting to see how the turtles are housed - smelly water without any stimuli. Some were listless and struggling to breathe. Many looked pale. The operator appears to have little regard for animals' welfare and when asked about one of the turtles he became immediately defensive and aggressive. There is a large clear box full of cash donations (you can release a baby turtle back into the water, though not a big one (according to the operator they are too sick)). It is hard to see what the donation money is spent on as the conditions are dreadful. Furthermore, as an education centre, one would expect signage on the life cycle, habitat, conservation status etc of the turtles - no information was visible.
If you would like to support turtle conservation in Bali, please contact Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA) for their recommendations.

We walked from Sindhu Beach to Sanur Beach.
The footpath passes a lot of small shops, nice restaurants and the back of some large hotels.
But this is about the beach not the stuff off the beach.
The beach was filthy with rubbish & not as nice as the Nusa Dua beaches.
The hawkers are nearly as anoying as the stray dogs and their mess.
I would not swim here.

Our family spent a couple of days during our recent trip to Bali exploring the delights of Sindhu beach.
The first few minutes after exiting a taxi here are always uncomfortable as you inevitably get swamped by 4-6+ ladies all desperately trying to get you to visit their shops. You'll need to be firm but polite to get them to leave you alone...otherwise they'll follow you about all day!
Prices in the stalls near Pantai Sindhu all seem to be loosely based on those in the fixed price shop TootSie so this is always a good place to start from to gauge prices. TootSie has a massive variety of goods available but the range within each style may be limited (eg only Bintang or Billabong singlets available...but not these plus Bali, Hot Tuna, QuickSilver, Fox Racing, Vans, and other styles also).
Another option is the market stalls next to Benno's Cafe where foot traffic is much quieter although competition for your tourist dollar can be quite fierce. Lots of standard street stall goods are available here too but also several quirky little places worth exploring deeper if you have the time and inclination.
There are a couple of day spa's located at Sindhu Beach and there are also numerous beachside operators offering to plait hair or provide massages. My daughter got a long thick head of hair plaited here on the beach for Rp100k whilst I could obtain a 1hr whole body massage for Rp50k.
There are numerous beachside restaurants of which I can recommend The Beach Cafe, Benno's Cafe, and Sand Cafe as providing a reasonable meal.
The beach itself is more of a swimming beach providing a safe opportunity away from the crowds of Kuta & Legian where kids can have a play in the shallows.
There's a lot to see and do here that makes a day trip to Sindhu Beach worthwhile...enjoy!

Kan je zelf daar voor een dag een gids en auto huren? En zo ja wat zijn dan gemiddeld,de kosten?
Written 8 December 2019
Je kan er heel makkelijk aan een “driver”met auto geraken. Kostprijs hangt af van waar je naar toe wil...bv, een dagrit naar Ubud om te stoppen voor bezoek apenbos, langs waterval, bezoek rijstvelden en even over de markt, heb je toch dag voor nodig, kost je een 600 000 ID.

it's probably around 800m-1km and can be easily reached by walking

There are several decent restaurants along Sindhu beach and lots of market stalls where you can test your haggling skills but I havent seen much in the way of live shows.
This type of entertainment is better suited to the Legian St bar strip in Kuta.
Cheers :-)

Hi . Can you recomend any live shows /entertainment on sindhu beach
Written 26 June 2015
You won't get anything on the beach , it's very different to Kuta / Legian.
Best to go to a bar like Casablanca on Jl Tamblingan , they have live bands 7 days a week....The Wicked Parrot across the road is similar.
Another quieter bar is Linga Longa in the South off Jl sudamala for more live music.
Some of the larger resorts may have traditional Balinese dancing if that's what you're after.
