Bali Tourism - Part 1

1. Kuta Bali 
Kuta Beach is a tourist spot located in the very south of Denpasar, precisely in Badung. This location is a tourist destination abroad, and has become a mainstay tourist island of Bali since the early 70's. Kuta Beach is often referred to as sunset beach (sunset beach) as opposed to the Sanur beach. 

Before becoming an attraction, Kuta is a port trade. Where the products of local traded to buyers from outside Bali. In the 19th century, Mads Lange, a Danish merchant, came to Bali and established a trading base in Kuta. His expertise in negotiating, making trader Mads Lange as famous among the kings of Bali with the Dutch. 

In Kuta there are many shops, restaurants and places baths and drying herself. Besides the beautiful beach, Kuta beach also offers various other types of entertainment such as bars and restaurants along the beach to Legian beach. Rosovivo, Ocean Beach Club, Kamasutra, are some of the most crowded clubs along the beach of Kuta.

Hugh Mahbett has also published a book entitled "Praise to Kuta" which contain a call to the local community to prepare a tourist accommodation facility. The goal is to anticipate explosions tourists visiting Bali. The book was later inspired many people to build tourist facilities such as lodging, restaurants and entertainment venues. 

2. Tanah Lot
Pura Tanah Lot is one of the tourist attractions in Bali is famous for its beauty, especially at sunset. Pura Tanah Lot temple consists of 2 pieces of the temple worships the god of the sea. The uniqueness of Pura Tanah Lot is a temple is located on top of a large rock at the edge of the sea. At the time of high tides, you can not get closer to the Tanah Lot temple as a buffer around the rock of Tanah Lot Temple will be flooded by sea water. At low tide you can see some sea snakes tame that according to locals is Tanah Lot temple guards. Moreover, at this location you can also hold a sacred snake docile and harmless.

3. Padang-Padang Beach
Padang Padang beach may be less well known when compared to Kuta Beach, but the beach Padang Padang Beach is very beautiful and unique. When I first came to Padang Padang Beach I also suspect that this beach is the beach that is not attractive because it is less well known, but it turns out I was wrong. Padang Padang Beach is a small beach that's hidden behind a cliff in the area Pecatu, near Uluwatu. To be able to reach Padang Padang Beach, you have to go through a staircase that splits the cliff. Padang Padang beach is not large and spacious, but very beautiful and interesting place to visit. Most visitors to Padang Padang Beach are foreign tourists as Padang Padang Beach is less well known among tourists in the state.

4. Bedugul Beratan Lake
Bedugul Beratan Lake is a lake located in the mountains with the natural environment of greenery. The uniqueness of Lake Beratan Bedugul is the existence of the temple Pura Ulun Danu named. Pura Ulun Danu Beratan Lake is situated on the edge of Bedugul and is one of the main attractions of Lake Beratan Bedugul. The visitors can also enjoy a game of water and rent a boat on Lake Beratan Bedugul.

5. Lovina Beach
Lovina Beach is probably not very often heard among tourists. Lovina Beach is one of the tourist attractions in Bali my favorite because Lovina we can see dolphins swimming and jumping in their natural habitat. Located in North Bali near Singaraja City, you will go to sea and see the dolphins using fishing boats. Lovina dolphins playing on the beach in the morning, so travelers usually departs from the beach starting at 6 am.
