Bingin Beach in Bali, a world-famous surf paradise and home to decades of local businesses, has been demolished. This video shows shocking before and after footage of the destruction and explains why it’s happening.
Over the years, Bingin has grown from a small local village into a surfers’ paradise — first discovered by locals, then by wave-seekers from around the world. It later blossomed into a lively hub of warungs, homestays, and surf camps, where Balinese tradition and international surf culture came together. Now, however, demolitions are reshaping the community, with many homes and businesses being lost and livelihoods disrupted.
We’ll explore:
🌊 The history of Bingin and how it became a surf hotspot
🏚️ Why the demolitions are happening now
⚖️ The clash between adat laws (traditional community rules) and Indonesian national zoning laws
This isn’t just about buildings…it’s about culture, community, and the future of Bali’s coastline.
