During the dry season, the scrub and bushes give Bukit Badung a weird Mediterranean air. No rice paddies are to be seen anywhere. The plateau rises up to 200 m above sea level, ringed to the south and southwest by cliffs with small beaches. The view over the white sand and breakers is best at sunset. Bukit Badung is famous among surfers for its long, white rollers. The best surfing is at Suluban, Labuhan Sait and Bingi. For hikers, paths run along much of the cliff, while the inland region has many prehistoric caves including Gua Selonding.
