Kuta Beach

Bali – Kuta beach

This is one long stretch of sand. It’s beautiful!

Hundreds of vendors relax in the shade of the trees while the tourists sizzle in the sun.

There can be a gentle surf here so lots of people jump on a board and give it a go. It’s a good practice ground.

You have to be a bit careful of the tides especially if you are not a strong swimmer because there can be a strong current and occasionally someone gets swept away.

At times there is not much surf but it can get pounding especially during the full moon.

Most surfers here are not experts but are having a good time learning on easy waves.

Some of the pros go to Uluwatu.

The surf down there really rips and it is great fun to watch those guys from the cliffs.

Kuta beach has kind of a college spring break feel to it. People are here for a good time and to blow off a little steam.

Surf boards can be rented on the beach. You can get a massage on the beach. You can get a hot meal on the beach. You can buy t-shirts, sunglasses, bows and arrows, and just about everything else there. It is kind of like a little city.

In the evening it becomes deserted as the party goers head to the discos and clubs in town.
