Beaches for October for Bali
Dreamland Beach
Dreamland Beach is a white sand beach located on the Bukit peninsula and is relatively quiet and secluded. Swimming is not recommended here, especially not on the eastern part of the beach, as the currents are very strong and the waves can be dangerous. These conditions do however, make for great surfing. There is a relatively small amount of accommodation, but cafes, and some beach rental equipment (sunbeds/umbrellas) are available.
Lovina Beach
Lovina Beach is a black sand beach located on Bali's northern coast. Calm waters make the beach ideal for swimming. It is relatively quiet with a more relaxed pace than many of Bali's busier beaches. Lovina Beach belongs to a fishing community which is known for its colourful water craft.
It is also not uncommon to see dolphins swimming in the waters just off of the beach, so keep your eyes peeled. As this is a quieter Bali beach, accommodation is limited, but there will likely be a few vendors pacing the beach. Lovina Beach is located about a 90 minute drive north of Ubud.
Things to Do in Bali in October
Green Camp
Green Camp is a school for children offering education on how to live a "green" life by using natural and sustainable products, such as bamboo, instead of relying on modern technology. The school is year-round, but for visitors to Bali, they offer three and five day family adventure options, which are "nature-inspired programs" allowing families and their children to immerse themselves within the school.
Guests will be able to explore the jungle and rice paddies that surround the school, swimming in naturally created pools fed with spring water, while learning about the benefits of sustainable agriculture. Reservations should be made online ahead of time and the school is located about a 17 minute drive from Ubud.
Bali Botanic Garden
Bali Botanic Garden is home to more than 2,000 species of plants that are native to Eastern Indonesia, spread out over an area of about 389 acres. In addition to its tranquil surroundings, the staff also focuses on research, conservation, and education of plant life. This is to ensure that we learn and know as much about plant life as possible, while also helping to grow plants that are endangered.
Many of the plants in the garden are used by Balinese people on a daily basis and visitors are taught how they are used. There is also plenty of bird life throughout the garden for visitors to enjoy as well. There is a small entrance fee and they are located about an hour's drive north of Ubud.
Yeh Pulu Temple
Yeh Pulu Temple is a set of rock carvings that were created in the 14th and 15th centuries. The carvings are in the middle of rice paddies and can be reached on foot through these fields, but a guide is necessary since there is no trail or markings. The temple can either be reached by car or by foot.
There is a small fee to enter the area and as it is a temple, modest dress is required. In addition to the carvings, there is a pool that is the perfect way to cool off if you choose to hike to the temple. This site is not visited by many tourists and is a great way to see something a little different that isn't swarmed with tourists. The temple is located just a five minute drive from Ubud.
