Bali has tons of gorgeous beaches but a particular favourite amongst parents is Sanur Beach! Since the beach is protected by reefs, the waves are not as big and give more peace of mind for parents with young families?
A paved cycling path lines the coast where you can also enjoy some cycling with the family, or maybe do some shopping at the Jalan Danau Tamblingan Shopping Street!
