Probably
the island's most famous tourist area, no visit
to Bali is complete without a visit to Kuta, if
only to witness its magnificent, "fire-ball"
sunset. Whatever you want, you'll find it here;
a place constantly alive with action and excitement.
This belt is by far the most popular and whitest
beach in Bali, attracting all ages and nationalities.
The beach extends from Canggu to the airport in
Tuban. It is ideal for those wishing to combine
a beach holiday with testing their surfing skills.
Kuta beach continues to grow in popularity and
is a fantastic place to soak up the warm sun.
During the day and night, the streets
are a hub of activity with tourists from all countries,
street vendors, car and motorcycles, weaving their
way through streets and lanes with shops and restaurants
of every description. The plethora of vendors
and shops may appear a little overwhelming at
first, but once you get used to the ritual of
bargaining you'll realise that this is a real
shopper's paradise. Discos, pubs, and karaoke
bars provide a wild nightlife which continues
until the small hours of the morning. Kuta is
about a 5 minute drive from the airport and about
10km from Denpasar.
