Getaway to Bali - Beaches

Bali is an island blessed with many beautiful beaches; Kuta beach is one of the most favourite beach discovered by the tourist, it is just a stone throw away from Denpasar airport; reachable about 15-30 minutes driving.

Kuta Beach
During our stay at Kuta Beach, there is a day me and Danny were suppose to join the groupies for the white water rafting, but I was just recovered from sick and we decided not to join them. We rent a motorcycle to tour around Kuta instead. Kuta is not only famous with its white sandy beach, it is also a shopping mecca with its line of shops and restaurants. We were so happily plunge ourselves into the shopping spree especially the Quicksilver outlet which is about 50% cheaper than the price back home. There is bazaar ON the beach as well, I bought some handicraft at pretty good price with the help by Danny which possess the great bargain skill. :p.

After the shopping, definitely we don't want to miss the surfing. We hired the surfing coach from the Kuta beach for two hours. IT IS DAMN FUN LA!!! It's not as tough as I thought. After being coached for few round, I'm able to stand on the surfing board!! wow, it's really the best thing I did in Bali. I was so exhausted after the 2 hours surfing, what's next? Nothing beat the traditional Balinese massage while having my sun bath on the shore at the same time sipping the chilly coke. HEAVEN!

Jimbaran Bay
Jimbaran bay is another tourist spot which famous with its luxurious resorts and seafood restaurant on the beach. Of course the resorts don't set up their business here with no reason. Jimbaran Bay blessed with white sandy beach with strong wave which provide a good place for intermediate surfers, Bluepoint Beach is one of the beach here that attract a lot of surfers.








At night, we had a superb seafood dinner at one of the many on-the-beach seafood restaurant with the nice breeze under the starring night, accompanied by the concerto of live band and the constant rhythm of the strong wave. ROMANTIC~



Nusa Dua
Nusa Dua which known by its crystal clear water, is the place we went for the water sport activities. We did the Banana Boat, parasailing, snorkeling and Flying Fish. The snorkelling is kind of a disappointment, but the rest is not bad especially this is my first time trying the parasailing. Fun!!!
