Kuta Beach, Bali

Kuta Beach, Bali (19 June, 2004)




Kuta Beach is a major tourist spot in Bali. This is where most of the accommodation, from guest houses to five star hotels, are concentrated. Kuta is a convenient spot to stay while in Bali, as it is near the Ngurah Rai International Airport. Also closeby are the world famous beaches of Kuta and Jimbaran. These beaches are the mecca for sunseekers and surfers.

Visitors staying in Kuta are within reach of some of Bali's beautiful seaside temples. To the northwest of Kuta are the temples of Tanah Lot and Pura Batu Bolong. To the south is the limestone peninsula of Bukit Badung. It rises 200 metres above the sea, and offers the spectacular cliff-side temple of Uluwatu. Many people, however, finds Kuta over commercialised and crowded, and head for more artistic venue, such as Ubud.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
