Personal opinions

Whenever people are talking about Bali, the first thing that may come in mind is beach. That is very common, considering that a lot of tourists come intentionally to surf or sunbathe, perhaps? =)

With the great beaches that Bali has you can either do one of those or you can choose a lot of other water activities. I will show you a quick review of my personal favorites of few of these beaches starting in this post and the next few posts, so stay tuned. =D

Sanur beach

One of the least crowded beach, situated on the southeast part of Bali, it is one of the most famous gateway for honeymooners, elderly, or maybe just people who is looking for tranquility out of the hectic working life. Sharing one of the most beautiful sunrise view, it is a famous spot to go for breakfast, morning jog or exercises. It is one of my own favorite places to go in Bali. I love going to Sanur beach in the morning before dawn to capture the scenic sunrise. Here are few shots of the sunrise that i took quite some time ago.

After enjoying the sunrise you can jog or bike around the beach following the jogging trail beside the sand.

Or you can enjoy water activities such as canoeing, parasailing,windsurfing, jet ski, sailing snorkeling and many more. Personally, i enjoy jogging in the morning, followed by canoeing. You can easily find rentals for canoeing around the spot for a really good price, usually they will charge you by hours.

Other than that, you can also take a boat to Nusa Lembongan, the small island located on the southern part of Bali. You can check the link for more information on this.

If you are interested in spending some time in Sanur and the areas, you don't have to worry, plenty of hotels are lined up beside the beach, so does restaurants and shops. You can also shop for traditional goodies in the traditional market on the location.

One more thing, you can try Nasi Campur Bu Weti in a small stall on the area, the famous Balinese cuisine that locals and tourists always craved for, but make sure you come earlier as it's always finished before noon. =D
