Bali police chief Arif Wahyunadi admitted on TV 1 that all passengers and crew were safe and has been taken into the Denpasar airport terminal for treatment.
According to roport, an Indonesian official TV said about 130 passengers and crew were on board while other reports put the total at more than 170 people.
Hospital officials and some other medicals said almost seven passengers were taken to Sanglah hospital with head wounds and broken bones.
However some passengers come out with their clothes wet and bruises.
Bali is a popular tourist destination in Indonesia
The cause of the accident was not yet clarified while the crash investigators prepared to launch their enquiries.
A spokeswoman with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Canberra said efforts were being made to ascertain whether any Australians were on the flight.
The aircraft was operated by local carrier Lion Air, whose operating base is at Bandung.
Mr Sirait told the news agency that the plane was new, and began operating last year.
The twin-engined aircraft also came to rest in shallow the sea near the shoreline and the jet plane suffered a broken fuselage behind the wings.
A clean yellow inflatable life jackets littered the nearby water and shore.
To get him was very difficult because of large concrete shore erosion protection blocks.
Some rescuers appeared to have paddled out to the stranded aircraft on surfboards.
Lion Air started operating in 2000 and services more than 36 destinations, mostly in Indonesia.
The airline last month agreed to buy 234 Airbus planes and announced that it planned to target new routes in Asia, as well as a venture in Australia.
