Sunbathing, swimming and surfing

Sunbathing needs no further explanation. As for swimming Kuta’s surf can be very dangerous with strong current and undertow on some tides. Always swim within the flag markers on the beach, keep near the crowds and lifeguards and remain within the reef. When the lifeguards say the water is unsafe for swimming, they mean it.

Kuta coast has best beach break to learn surfing and good reef and break for experienced surfers. If you are a beginner, you can rent a surfboard or boogie board right on the beach or from budget accommodation near the beach, few surf shops also hire out surfboard or boogie board, arrange surfing lesson, and surfing tour to other surfing spots.

Sunset watching

I am not conceited enough to try expressing the beauty of Kuta sunset with my limited vocabulary, maybe the best thing comes up just “indescribable beauty”. It is better to see it with your own eyes, of course when the weather is fine.

Massage

You can get a massage service easily on Kuta beach, many masseurs work on the beach. You have to bargain to get a better price, keep your smile and sense of humor while bargaining to get an extra Bali’s bargain experience.

Bungee Jumping

For those who long for adrenaline rush, bungee jumping offers 30 second of adrenaline rush and the fastest way to empty your pocket.

Nightlife

Kuta is the low end party centre of Bali. The bars serve alcohol freely; many bars here have a house cocktail with a local Arak (palm beer) base that comes with fancy name “Arak Attack”, “Jam Jar”, etc. Arak is strong and sometimes with uncontrolled alcohol level so be wise when you handle “Arak Attack”. The more sophisticated and up-market bar or lounge can be found along the waterfront on Jalan Pantai Kuta. They offer food and entertainment afterwards.

Waterbom Park

Waterbom is a popular and biggest water theme park in Asia. A definite option for children and also a good spot to spend your vacation.
