Kuta Beach — Attraction in West Nusa Tenggara

After my visit to Bali, I totally saw why so many expats move there. Bali is a beautiful, cheap, and verdant tropical island worthy of everything that is written about it. If it had better Internet and ended those rolling blackouts, I would move there.

There’s a reason why so many “digital nomads” set up shop there.

I see the appeal. Except for Kuta beach.

Kuta beach is the tourist mecca of Bali. Once you leave Kuta and the other tourist areas of Ubud and the Gili Islands, there are so few tourists on this island that you might think Bali had yet to be “discovered.” (I was shocked at how few people explored outside the main areas. It’s there’s like an invisible barrier preventing people from getting out of their bubble.) But then you get back to Kuta beach with its big bars, overpriced clothes, Western (and overpriced) food, large hotels and resorts, polluted beacj, and drunk tourists, and you sadly realize, that yup, Bali has been discovered – and then some.

This place was once a lonely little village where people surfed. Now is the tourist Mecca of Bali, especially for young backpackers and people who want to party to extremes.

In my opinion, Kuta Beach is not worth visiting.

It’s a good place to start and end your trip as it is close to the airport but, unless you really want to do some hardcore drinking, there is no reason to visit Kuta beach.

In Kuta, the water is brown and filled with things like McDonald’s cups, plastic bags, trash, and god knows what else. That blue tropical water you are looking for won’t be found on Kuta. For that, head to Nusa Lembogan, Eastern Bali, or the Gili Islands. I wouldn’t recommend swimming on Kuta’s beach. I felt dirty and like I needed a shower. Moreover, the restaurants aren’t great. You’ll find overpriced Indonesian food and mediocre western food in this tour. There aren’t really any good places to eat here. I found a good Mexican place and there is the famous Madam’s Indonesian restaurant but the best food in Bali is not found in Kuta. If you want excellent food, visit Ubud or Seminyak beach. These are where the real award-winning delicious restaurants are.

The shopping in Kuta is decent and slightly cheaper than elsewhere on the island. Southern Bali is the most developed and western part of the island making sense that this would be the best place to shop. I found all the places on Bali offered a lot of the same touristy clothes and knockoffs. I did manage to find some name brand shops but they weren’t as cheap as I thought they would be. The best deals were in the giant department stores. Overall though, I was unimpressed with the shopping in Kuta and would rather shop in Bangkok...

Kuta Beach Lombok is a tourist spot in Kuta Village, Pujut District, Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. This beach has a coastline of 7.2 kilometers.

One of the uniqueness of Kuta Beach Lombok is its white sand which is so uniquely shaped like pepper grains which are very difficult to find in other beach tourist areas, these sand grains make most visitors feel at home for long on the beach. In addition to the unique sand on this beach, there are also rows of towering hills of medium size. These hills create a mix of cute colors between the blue sea water and the white sand of the beach.

The sea water is so clear that you can see the underwater scenery. On Kuta Beach Lombok there is a hill called Mandalika, this hill adds to its own beauty. This name is taken from an ancient story of the local community, about a princess named Mandalika. Princess Mandalika finally jumped into the sea from this hill, avoiding the pursuit of a prince who wanted to marry her. Now, this hill is the most appropriate place to enjoy views of Kuta from a height. If you reach the top of Mandalika Hill, you will find a beautiful view of Kuta Beach, with its clear sea water. You can even see the coral reef clusters.

In addition, the beach area is very safe for doing water activities such as bathing or swimming, for those of you who like water sports, facilities such as banana boats, windsurfer and jetski are also available. The waves are quite large also make this place a paradise for surf lovers, both local and non-local surfers. Parking fees and entrance fees are not collected due to the absence of interference from the...

Good improvement for welcoming Moto GP 2021, but please keep the originality of the ocean and nature.. I means don't build all of it with hotels and resort.. Give space too for local people for living there and makes them some money, dont makes commercial for everything, please stay cheap price for local visitor who always want to go to Merese Hill and only seeing Kuta or Tanjung Aan beach... I went there when Peresean held. Peresean is a battle between two men armed with a rattan stick (penjalin) and a armored buffalo’s skin (thick and hard) (armor called ende). This battle tradition is performed by the Sasak tribe community, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Peresean is a symbol used by the pepadu to train dexterity, toughness, and courage in competing. Pepadu was bloody will be treated by a traditional oil as a drug. If the oil is applied it does not cause pain. After the fight, the warriors (pepadu) shake hands and hug, the sign is there is no sense of revenge between the two pepadu. If you see my pictures, you will know that Kuta has a wonderful sunset ever; this beach has the one and only sand just like a pepper, and fully on this beach. I Was so grateful witnesses the Peresean battle directly and also witnesses a wonderful sunset reflection...
