If vast pristine white sand and clear blue water beach is your preference, then the southern coastline of Bali is the perfect choice.

Bali's black sand beaches are usually quiet and less packed compared to the white sand beaches. They are unique and majestic in their own ways, generally hidden by cliffs which adds to their unique characteristics. However, they are less accessible as they are not a common tourist destination, less maintained and lack the facilities provided at white sand beaches. In addition to that, the rainy season can affect the look of the beaches as they tend to look dirty during heavy rainfalls. 

In terms of the outcomes of the pictures and videos taken, black sand beaches can create a more intimate and moody style to the pictures and videos taken. The tone will be warmer and have more contrast to them due to the black sand.
