Amed and Tulamben
are alternative destinations in East Bali. Amed is a resort town
that harks back to the early days in Kuta. Simple losmens and a
couple of good, small hotels sit along the shady, grey sand beach.
Snorkelling is popular in Amed. Tulamben is even quieter, but favourite
with local divers.
Candi
Dasa is the entryway to east Bali. The beach here has been mostly
washed away due to the heavy coral picking that used to provide
a living for locals. This has now been stopped and tidal walls have
been erected in an effort to restore the beach. Gradually the coral
is returning, and Candi Dasa is just beginning as a popular tourist
destination.
Formerly,
the beach was a relatively quiet area. Its image has improved dramatically
with the opening of the beautiful Four Season's Resort and the Inter-Continental.
From a sleepy cove then in the last couple of years, it has become
even busier still with grilled seafood restaurants going up at a
rapid pace along the beach, attracting local families and tourists
in droves.
Kuta
proper remains the whitest stretch of sand and is a big draw for
those who want to test their surfing skills with both a beach-break
and a reef-break further out. Visitors, will never get bored in
Kuta beach, there are a lot of fun and activities, from topless
sunbathing, surfing, adventurous bungee jumping, shopping or people
watching.
Near
the northern tip of the island of Bali lies a stretch of villages
by the Bali Sea that is called Lovina Beach. It is well known as
an excellent site for sunset watching, snorkelling, and diving.
If you like what Kuta offers but do not like the crowd, Lovina Beach
is for you.
Nusa
Dua was designed for the luxury conscious with a heavy concentration
of big name hotels lining the beautiful white sand beach. Some of
the resorts have private beaches but most areas are accessible.
Crystal clear water provides excellent Snorkelling and Diving site,
and the waves on the northern and the southern part of Nusa Dua
allow for great surfing opportunity.
The
village of Sanur, Bali's largest traditional village, located on
the eastern coast of Bali is the ideal beach for snorkelling as
it is protected by a coral reef. Sanur beach is easily reachable
from Denpasar, about a 5 to 10 minute drive only.
It
is a small peninsula jutting north along Bali's eastern coast with
beautiful white sands stretching the length of the coast. Tanjung
Benoa is well known for water sports and very nice hotels that offer
good value for money but lack some of the size and a few of the
facilities of the international chain hotels in neighbouring Nusa
Dua.
The
area is located between Kuta and the airport and a nice place to
stay. A little less frantic than Kuta, it's a good place to grab
a deck chair and a good book. Tuban beaches are safe for swimming
and it is such a perfect place to unwind.
