Indonesia – Kuta Beach, Bali
// March 18th, 2009 // Travel
Mount Bromo behind us, we set out on the final leg of our Java to Bali overland tour. After nine, painfully cramped, hours by bus and one ferry ride later we finally arrive at Kuta, Bali. Chaotic, commercial and cluttered, it was everything we needed after 20 hours on the road in two days!
Kuta
With pristine beaches, endless shopping and hedonistic nightlife it’s not hard to see why Kuta is a tourist magnet. Think Patong Beach, but with more zipping motorbikes and narrow alleyways lined with touts selling everything from ‘exotic’ tours and lottery tickets to weed and magic mushrooms.

Judging by the number of ‘Learn to Surf’ schools around, surfing is big business in Kuta. At any given time (rains included) you can spot up to thirty to forty surfers paddling out waiting to catch the next crashing wave.

Best beaches in Kuta…
Nice photos.
the clouds in the beach pics look surreal… awesome
Exotic black sand beaches stretching away in both directions. Some of the world's best surf
coming to lap your toes as you face the sea's horizon. Bali is often called that cliché
phrase “a tropical paradise” – and you can see why, with all of the glory of a Bali beach
before you. Indeed, it is tempting to call it quits and park yourself on these sandy shores
for your entire holiday at a Bali beach resort, watching the waves peak and crash out at sea,
while lush jungle rustles behind you.
