Lying between Java and Lombek, you will find the island of Bali, filled with resorts and beaches and a population of over three and a half million.  This province of Indonesia is haven for surfers and people who worship the sun.  Most of all, it offers beaches.  Untouched beaches, beaches against the jungles, black sand beaches, beaches peppered with little fishing villages.

After you check in to your beach hotel Bali, then you might want to review the great number of available beaches: Kuda Beach, with a rep as a paradise, attracting swimmers; Tanjung Benoa, known for boating and water sports; Tuban Beach, relaxing, meant for sunbathers and reading, life guards ensure your safety for swimming; Sunset Legian, a beach that draws in an international crowd to read or play volleyball or simply meditate.  Uluwatu, Padang Padang, Bingin and Dreamland were all places for surfers, because these beaches were accessible only via a rough dirt road.  Nusa Dua, largely a lagoon with clean, calm waters; Sanur Beach, for watersailing and parasailing, once a place for the rich, circa 1930s; the West Coast, for adventurous surfers, definitely NOT for beginners, rip tides here can make it dangerous for swimming.

Among other places near or on Bali: Jimbaran is a quiet cove, with fishing boats.  Since new resorts have opened, the area has become more popular.  From Bali, you can also go on day trips, like to Nusa Lembongan, a popular beach destination.  The trip can take from an hour to two, all depending on whether or not your boat has a motor!  Padang Bai is a harbor and a quiet fishing village.  If you take a brief walk over the rough terrain to the north, you’ll find a secluded beach of white sand.  Candi Dasa is the pathway to Eastern Bali; once washed away due to coral picking, the beach is back along with the returning coral.
