Sanur

Sanur is a coastal area of Bali, and Pantai Sanur Beach is recognized as its calling card. It is also one of the most popular tourist sites on the island. European artists used to come here in search of inspiration, but now everyone can come to Sanur. And, as a rule, people do not regret traveling.

Description

Sanur Beach is located in the southeastern part of Bali. It is believed that its length reaches 5-7 kilometers. In fact, this is a bit different: the beach is only 1.5 kilometers long. Then there is the coastline with the same name. The width of the beach ranges from 10 to 40 meters.

The surprisingly soft yellow sand creates a special luxury of the coastal strip. It is noteworthy that the beach was filled in relatively recent times. The previous black volcanic sand did not attract tourists much, so the local authorities decided to improve the territory and did not lose money: now there is no shortage of tourists on Sanur.

Advantages of Sanur

There are many villas and houses with several bedrooms in a cozy place, which is very convenient for companies of travelers or large families. It's much easier to rent a car here and explore other cities than in the busy south. And if you want to completely relax, you can use the services of local travel agencies.

The gentle entrance to the sea and the absence of waves are perfect for swimmers of any skill level, or rather lack thereof. Babies, their mothers and grandmothers feel great in shallow water. Although it can be quite boring for fathers to look for a deep place to enjoy real swimming. But the locals don't worry about it at all: they settle down in the water sitting or even lying down, not worrying about the reverse current. Here is one of the best manicured hiking trails stretching along the seashore, which especially attracts travelers who like to enjoy a leisurely stroll in Sanur in the mornings and evenings with strollers or bicycles.

What can I do?

People come to Sanur to enjoy the hot sun and warm sea water in fairly calm conditions. This is not a place for fans of wind surfing or disco fans. They will be bored in the quiet sea, and they will miss a large number of nightclubs. The situation is slightly better with diving and snorkeling. But the local marine world cannot boast of great diversity. But the sunrises amaze with their splendor, so the beach is simply dotted with professional photographers and amateurs with soap dishes and phones.

Sanur is great for yoga and gymnastics classes against the backdrop of charming seascapes, and you can also ride a local boat called the jukung or fish from it in the open sea, feeling like an angler of the X-XI century. And the chefs from any nearby cafe will help prepare the catch. For those who appreciate more modern recreation, there is an opportunity to ride parachutes over the water, ride jet skis and bananas, fly over the water with a special satchel.

The beach can't boast of attractions either, but in the vicinity you can see the Andrian Le Mayer Museum, a 10th-century temple, a dolphinarium, a night market with original Indonesian food, which is slightly different from the usual Thai and even Vietnamese. However, you can not count on long-term shopping, at 10 o'clock the market closes until morning.
