There are beaches untouched by human foot prints, beaches buzzing with activity, beaches backed by untamed jungles, beaches of black sands and beaches dotted with isolated fishermen villages.

On Bali's beaches, sunbathing is popular with many visitors from temperate countries. However, please keep in mind that the sun in Bali can be very hot and you need skin cream. To avoid dehydration, it is advisable to drink plenty of water. Avian and Aqua are two brands of bottled water that are safe for drinking and are excellent thirst quenchers. Sterilized under strict hygienic conditions, the water is packed in handy plastic bottles.
