Kuta Beach
Once a lonely little village on the road from Denpasar to Bukit
Peninsula, Kuta is now the tourist Mecca of Bali, popular mainly among
the young and adventurous. Kuta beach is one of the first favorite
beaches discovered by tourist. Coconut trees line the sand beach as far
as the eyes can see towards the north stopped by the runway of
Denpasar's airport far in the west. The sunset in Kuta is most
breathtaking. On the south, the beach is fenced by the airport's runway,
which gives the visitors a breathtaking landing experience.
Kuta Beach
bustles with tourists' vendors and locals. It's the most popular beach
in Bali and the island's number one party zone. The beach stretches as
far north as the eyes can see. As short walk away north, the waves will
invite to surfing. Rapid development and an influx of visitors haven't
kept the surfers away and Kuta still remains one of Bali's best surfing
beaches and a great place to enjoy a beach lifestyle.
While the surfers are still part of the Kuta scene, it's the
shopping, nightlife and party vibes that attracts thousands of visitors.
There's a huge choice of accommodation, restaurants and entertainment.
The accommodation in Kuta range from a modest home stay for a few
dollars a night to luxurious, five star, international hotels costing
several hundred to several thousand dollars a night. Legian Street,
situated directly behind the row of hotels that face the beach, is lined
with shops of all varieties.
We can find any Balinese handicrafts here,
from the least expensive to the most exquisite; or unique stores such
as the leather store staffed by two young Balinese men that will
perfectly sculpt a leather jacket. (They are all extremely talented
artists). _At night, Kuta is alive with night life. Western influences
create discotheques, dance clubs, and pubs. Gastronomical demands
inspire a multitude of restaurants, serving traditional Indonesian and
Balinese food to various ethnic meals from Japan, Switzerland, etc. As
if these were not enough, various Balinese dance performances are staged
in Kuta every night. One of the best Kecak performances is found in
Kuta.
