| Padang Padang |
| Just down the road from Uluwatu
is Padang-Padang, which is another enchanting beach
nestled into a pocket of lava-rocks, with an entrance
to the beach though a cave crevice. This small cove
offers famous world-class waves that attract surfers
from all over the world. The water is also safe
for swimming and snorkeling. The beach is small
but the setting is enchanting and memorable, and
like Uluwatu has warungs for drinks and snacks.

| Impossible |
| Down the Peninsula from Padang-Padang,
this long stretch of white-sand beach is free of
warungs and people, and still maintaining its original
natural make-up of flora along the towering cliffs.
Unfortunately, at high tide the beach all but disappears
under the waves, and for this reason Impossibles
is not an ideal place for relaxing on the sand,
although it is a great setting for a sea-side walk
at low tide. Swimming is not advised here, and the
waves are for experienced surfers only, as they
break over reef. |

| Dreamland |
| A few hundred meters up from Bingin
is Dreamland, which overlooks every other Bukit
beach all the way to Uluwatu. Because of its beauty,
white sand and cliff outcroppings, it has become
the chic beach of the day, and it is usually fairly
busy with tourists, and quite a number of warungs
and small bungalows have been built in the area.
It is a great beach for swimming and surfing, as
it offers a sand-bottom break, but often has a strong
rip current. |

| Tulamben |
| Tulamben Beach is inseparable from
the history of Tulamben Village as a marine village.
The lava floods and rolling of huge volcanic stones
dragged the shipwreck of Liberty to the depth of
30 meters above sea level and fragmented into to
parts. This shipwreck then became to be the home
to hundreds of species of coral fish and shrimp.
That's why Tulamben is more quiet but more popular
for diving and snorkeling. |

| Nusa Lembongan (Lembongan
Island) |
In the year 1200, there was an old
man from Mount Kila, called Dukuh Jumpungan who
owned a boat which had a magical power. Legend has
it that whenever he sailed on his boat, everything
he encountered and struck by his boat would become
an ocean.
One day, Dukuh Jumpungan heard that there was a
very sacred mountain called Mount Tohlangkir. Dukuh
Jumpungan was determined to prove the magical power
of his boat by hitting the sacred Mount Tohlangkir.
He wished to make Mount Tohlangkir disappear and
became an ocean. He sailed in a southeast direction
from Padang Bay, collided his boat to Mount Tohlangkir.
The boat rebounded shakily, and finally sank. An
island appeared in the area where the boat rebounded
shakily and is now called Nusa Ceningan. The area
where his boat sank became an island and is now
called Nusa Lembongan.
In Balinese, Lembongan means mushroom. Now, Nusa
Lembongan is one of the most popular destinations
for cruising and sailing. The pristine white sandy
beaches with aquamarine bays are brimming with colorful
sea life, so diving and snorkeling are also very
popular sports in Nusa Lembongan. One can also enjoy
the glass bottomed boat rides. With the backdrop
of Mount Agung, Nusa Lembongan has spectacular scenery
and offers unforgettable adventures. Lembongan's
neighboring island, Nusa Penida, has more ominous
reputation and is less popular. |

| Amed |
Amed, around 30 minutes drive from
Candidasa, is one of the best scuba diving and snorkeling
spots in Bali with its breathtaking under water
world. Amed is a traditional cultural center with
only minor influences from tourism, you can see
the village boys and girls practicing traditional
music and the fisherman sail their outrigger canoes
out to catch the fish.
Imagine diving on the black sand slope of volcano
towering over the reef or a night on the wreck of
Liberty at the undeveloped and unspoiled corner
of paradise. |

| |
| Nusa Penida (Penida
Island) |
| Nusa Penida offers fine swimming,
surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and sunbathing,
also dramatic walks, unspoilt scenery, deep caves,
and delightful, friendly villagers. Nusa Penida
is the most gorgeous dive place in Bali with vast
spread of coral reefs and rich with color and fish.
Most visitors stay in Jungut Batu on Nusa Lembongan
and come over to Nusa Penida island on day trips.
|
| |
| Nusa Ceningan (Ceningan
Island) |
| Ceningan Island is just next to
Nusa Lembongan. When there is no swell at Nusa Lembongan
head around here for a fun wave with water slides
and watch banana boats. Many nice coral formations
like pillars, table corals and a lot of fish make
the Ceningan Island is good place to dive. |
| |
| Pemuteran Beach |
| Pemuteran Beach located in the northwest
of Bali, around 90 minutes from Singaraja. Pemuteran
has so many gorgeous fishes, turtles and other marine
and submarine habitats and coral reef. This peaceful
place is ideal for natural excursion activities
such as tramping at the National Park, swimming,
snorkeling and diving. |
| |
| Menjangan Island |
| It is an hour drive from Lovina,
then a 30-minute boat ride onto the island. As part
of the West Bali National Park, Menjangan Island
is well known for its clearest water in the Indonesian
archipelago and most beautiful coral reefs in Bali.
Along with the nearby Labuan Lalang, this is a great
place for diving and snorkeling amongst the coral
reefs and fish in the sparkling clear water. Another
popular attraction is the dolphin watching. |
