Bali Beach is the closest and most easily reached of San-Pédro's beaches, a long arc of sand and palm trees about 3km west of the city centre. The waves are moderate and good for swimming in the calmer months. On weekends it fills with families from the city; during the week you can find stretches of sand nearly to yourself.
The beach has a cluster of simple restaurants and stalls at its eastern end — the grilled tilapia and barracuda served here come off the boats that morning. A cold Flag or 33 Export beer while watching the fishing canoes come in is a decent way to spend an afternoon. The walk along the beach westward toward the Monogaga lagoon area takes about an hour and passes through quieter, more remote-feeling sections.
