The central beach of Kuta is more suitable for walking along the ocean, relaxing on sun loungers and inflatable chairs, meeting beautiful sunsets and surfing than for swimming.
It is important to consider that:
* Strong waves and constant tides on the beach 🌊
* There is a lot of trade and services offered (hairpins, bracelets, braiding).
* There is no way to wash your feet at the exit from the beach.
* Strong bike and car traffic. (But there is a patrol inspector at the main entrance to the beach, he stops traffic at the sight of tourists)
Several entrances to the beach are decorated in traditional Balinese style in the form of split gates, there is a beautiful temple and developed infrastructure nearby (cafes, restaurants, shops, exchangers, a large BeachWalk shopping center) Traditional Balinese rituals are held on the beach and you can often see fishermen - very colorful!
It's not a beach, it's a waste dump. You can't swim there. There is a garbage dump all along the sandy beach, and all this is moving with the tides to the ocean and back to the beach. There is garbage and huge logs floating in the water, and garbage in huge quantities on the sand. But if you like to relax in a landfill, then local sellers will clear a piece of a meter by meter for you and put a high chair or a chaise longue and bring drinks. If you like it that way, then you're welcome. I think this beach should be closed due to unsanitary conditions. As of December 2024.
I haven't been to any other nearby beaches, so there's nothing to compare it with. It's relatively clean, but you still need to look for a trash can. There are toilets and showers. There are plenty of touts)) Bracelets, hats, Panama hats, manicures, pedicures (fortunately, it's safe, just nails will be painted and massaged, perhaps they will sing), surfing lessons, drinks. Most importantly, buy a service or a hat, and then sit on a chaise longue under an umbrella for free all day. With proper communication skills, you can receive some of the services and a free chaise longue for free. Bargain, joke, be ready to communicate, and everything will be fine!
The beach is good, but the locals get in the way and pester with all sorts of bracelets, massages and bows, the wave is good, just for surfing, there are a lot of cafes nearby, it's noisy in the evening.
A great place to surf on your own and learn. By the way, John has good prices of 100k for 2 hours per person. Right next to restaurants of ocean cuisine, wonderful sunsets. A large mall for shopping. Cafes and restaurants. There is a street evening clothing fair at bargain prices. The only thing upsetting is the movement of scooters and cars that are not inferior to pedestrians.
It's a very impressive place. Incredible sunsets and evenings. A lot of people come here to drink a bottle of cold beer and admire the wonderful sight!
On the downside, the beach is very dirty.
People, take care of nature!
Beautiful sunsets on the ocean. If you want to watch the sunset sitting down, buy a coconut right on the shore, it's better not to buy food, it's dangerous.
a beautiful beach. there are many delicious cafes with fresh food, kind local people. a lot of excursions, good hotels, in general, the rest was still a success))
It was very dirty And the beach was cleared for more than a month. Unfortunately, it is impossible to swim A lot and a lot of garbage. It was February 2023
