Lovina Beach
Near the northern tip of the island of Bali lies a stretch of
villages by the Bali Sea. Lovina Beach is the name. Lovina is really a
string of coastal villages to the west of Singaraja. Escape from the
hustle and bustle of Kuta to Lovina Beach located in north Bali, about
100 kilometers from southern tourist hotspots. It is well known as an
excellent site for sunset watching, snorkeling, and diving.
Darkly
beautiful, Lovina offers quiet and calm, and is popular Asian tourists
and those avoiding the hustle and bustle of the southern beaches. A
number of coves offer tranquil, protected waters and Lovina is one of
them. Although the sand is grey, it is quiet and peaceful, and popular
among those who shun the glitzier beach resorts of the south. It is a
popular place for dolphin watching; dolphins play in the water off
Lovina. Famous for its early morning dolphin-watching boat trips, Lovina
also offers good snorkeling and diving, and trekking in the nearby
mountains.
Diving off Menjangan Island, part of the Bali Barat National
Park, is generally regarded as the best in Bali. Boats are readily
available to take divers over to the island, where there are no
residents or hotels.
Nightlife activities are also abound, as well as chartered boats
to go out into the sea. If we like what Kuta offers but do not like the
crowd. With a wonderful variety of hotels, restaurants and bars located
on or very near the calm beach, Lovina offers something for everyone.
It is also a good base to take day trips to the nearby attractions of
north and west Bali.
