Bali Beach Entrance Fees in 2026: What 12 Beaches Actually Charge
Most are free with a small parking charge. One popular beach costs IDR 25,000, and pages all over the internet still say 10,000.
Most of Bali's famous beaches do not charge an entrance fee. What you pay is parking, usually IDR 2,000 to 10,000, collected locally and often in cash. Two beaches on our list charge for entry itself. Here is what dated sources say for each.

|---|---|---|
| Nusa Dua | Free | IDR 5,000 scooter, 10,000 car |
| Jimbaran | Free | IDR 2,000 to 5,000 |
| Seminyak | Free | IDR 2,000 to 5,000; sunbeds about 50,000 to 100,000 |
| Sanur | Free | IDR 2,000, cash only |

From the sources in each beach's record, dated 2025 or 2026. For Canggu and Legian no fee is stated in any source we read.
The charge
Pandawa. One Bali guide states that the 2026 entrance fee is IDR 25,000 for an international adult, and that the 10,000 and 15,000 figures still quoted online are older prices. The same site's own list of the best beaches in Bali still says 15,000. The old price and its correction are published by the same people.
Dreamland has the same problem on a smaller scale. One page gives its parking as IDR 5,000 to 20,000 in one table and 10,000 in another.
The fee went up. The internet did not.
Why the numbers drift
On Bali the charge at a beach is mostly parking, collected by the local village, so there is no single price list to update. A page written two years ago is describing a different year.
The verdict
Guilty of quoting old prices. Carry small notes, expect to pay for parking almost everywhere, and treat any fee you read, these included, as the price on the day the page was written. Ours were checked on 13 October 2026.
