Bali‘s shoreline is covered in beaches, but the most famous one is definitely Kuta Beach. Located in the popular tourist town of Kuta, it is the most lively and energetic spot on the island. Just about every beach activity you could think of is available here, including swimming, sun tanning, surfing, watersports, and more. You can rent a sun lounger for as little as 50,000 IDR from one of the many vendors and order a cold drink to enjoy while you lay back. There is also no shortage of fantastic restaurants within easy walking distance of the beach as well.

Kuta Beach is particularly famous for its magnificent sunsets, as it is located along the island’s southwestern coast. In fact, it is often referred to simply as “sunset beach.” After the sun sets, you can head to the adjoining street to do some souvenir shopping or enjoy the world-renowned nightlife scene. Unlike many of Bali‘s beaches and attractions, there is no entry fee for Kuta Beach. As it is such a popular destination, the beach is usually quite crowded, but you should have no problem finding a spot. You can beat many of the crowds by coming earlier in the morning or by walking north up the beach, where it tends to get more secluded.
