Kuta Beach

If you come to Bali and somehow miss Kuta Beach, you missed out. Surfing, drinking the beverage of your choice, sunning, not-sunning – you name it, you can do your favorite beach activity on Kuta Beach.

As a tourist, walking down Kuta Beach can feel like waking into the land of the leaky wallet. Vendors of all kinds will approach you selling massage, jewelry, art, clothing, sarongs, ice cream, and even blow darts. Let me give you a tip: if you just want to sit and enjoy the scenery, find the friendly folks right inside the beach entrance directly across the street from the tourist police. Yoko runs a beverage stand right inside that entrance. If you need a surf board or lesson, an umbrella, want to drink beer, or just need someone to watch your stuff while you swim, he and his beach buddies will be there for you like family.
