Sanur Budget Travel Guide: Sanur Beach


Sanur is, as mentioned, a beach in Bali. It is located to the south of Denpasar, about 18km / 30 minutes from the Ngurah Rai International Airport. The beach was the site where the Japanese landed during World War II, and quickly took over the island. Later, it became Bali's earliest beach destination, long before anybody knows of Kuta or Nusa Dua. Since then, it has been eclipsed by Kuta in terms of decibels, but is the ideal beach getaway for families and those seeking some solitude.

The beach at Sanur stretches about 5 km, making it ideal for long strolls. All creature comforts can be found nearby, even fast food restaurants such as KFC and McDonald's. The main road in Sanur is Jalan Danau Tamblingan, lined with shops and restaurants. The sea itself is only good for swimming during high tide, due to the reef, which forms a natural barrier. It is not advisable to swim outside the reef barrier, as the current there is very strong.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
