Kuta Beach

With a long broad Indian Ocean beach-front, Kuta was originally discovered by tourists as a surfing paradise. It has long been a popular stop on the classic backpacking route in South East Asia. Back in the 1980s they used to talk about the three Ks: Katmandu in Nepal, Khao San Road in Bangkok and Kuta. Today Kuta still attracts some hardcore backpackers as well as families and tourists from all over the world, and is most notably a playground for young visitors from Australia. Due to the ever increasing popularity of Bali, Kuta is continually developing, and is not short of unsightly, poorly planned buildings. It can come across at times to be chaotic, overcrowded and congested. However, amongst all the mayhem this place somehow works, and hundreds of thousands of visitors enjoy their time in Kuta every year.

Infrastructure has come a long way in Kuta, although it is still insufficient for the amount of visitors who stay in the area. Some side alleys still have significant potholes and road rules still don’t mean very much. Most roads are constantly busy with motor scooters, metered taxis and private cars. Instead of using signals, locals and the seasoned travellers honk their motor vehicles to signal overtaking or squeezing into a tight spot near you. Oftentimes cars fold in their side mirrors when negotiating narrow single lanes with parked vehicles. Now you can access free wifi in local convenience stores, restaurants, cafes and hotels. There are half a dozen prepaid mobile phone sim cards available everywhere with competitive top up plans. Touts will persistently try to get to buy something from them, whether you’re walking on the streets or seated in a restaurant.

The five km long sandy stretch of Kuta is arguably the best beach front in Bali. The beach is safe, partially clean, well-maintained, although the beach vendors remain annoying pushing massages, hair braiding, cigarettes and surf boards. The long wide stretch of sand is often full of sunbathers and although most of the serious surfers have moved on to newer pastures, there are still plenty of surf dudes around at most times of the year, and especially so during peak season. As you move north along the beach to first Legian and then Seminyak and Petitenget it becomes progressively quieter and less frenetic.

Keramas Beach

Mention Keramas Beach to any of the top world tour surfers and it would be hard to find one that won’t smile and recount memories of a great session there. Keramas is also very popular with novice to intermediate surfers. By comparison to such well-known surf spots like Uluwatu that was first surfed in the 70’s, Keramas is a newborn baby. Most of the local and international professional surfers that come to Keramas to surf was began in 2000. A funny thing about the name Keramas, if you look up the word “keramas” in an Indonesian dictionary you’ll find that it translates into the word “shampoo”, which would sort of make sense when you think about waves and whitewater churning about.

But the original name of the area was in fact Kuramas, the Golden Turtle, coming from the combination of “kura “ which means turtle and “mas” which means “gold”, as long ago turtles would come to bury their eggs in the warm black sand. Later the name changed into Keramas, the Golden Monkey (from “kera” which means “monkey” and the “mas” still meaning gold), but where those monkeys went and why remains a mystery. But what is indeed no mystery is that Keramas Beach has rapidly become one of biggest superstars on great surf spots in Bali.

Dreamland Beach

Dreamland Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Bali. It is located in the Southern Peninsular of Bali, south of Bali airport and about 30 minutes from Kuta Center.
