Sanur

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

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
