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.
Compared to the resorts in southern part of Bali, Candi Dasa is
much simpler. Offering low budget accommodation and few upscale
hotels, the main attraction of Candi Dasa is a stunning landscape
of the beach. Destroyed by jetties protruding into the water,
intended to stop the erosion caused by coral blasting for years.
