As per previous posters would definitely recommend Padang Padang (monkeys, nice safe beach) and Balian (warung with a really nice pool they will let you use). Beach is a bit scuzzy but wasn't a problem for my wife me and our son. Canggu is also a pretty good option (plenty of warungs and a decent beach further along).
Greenbowl = good for surfing and nice beach but there is a hard core climb down a cliff/staircase to get down so not so good for kids.
