Jimbaran
Facts
 Jimbaran
is directly south of the airport, on the way from Denpasar
towards Nusa Dua. The village of Jimbaran is the narrow
neck of the island of Bali, and thus it has two remarkably
different beaches. On the west, Jimbaran Beach faces
the Jimbaran Bay, recently lined by new luxurious resorts.
On the east, the beach faces the body of water sheltered
by Benoa Harbor.
People who have made a visit to Jimbaran will remember
the good seafood and the relaxed atmosphere on a warung
at the beach. The Jimbaran village is located just south
of the airport in the Teluk Jimbaran bay. On the opposite
side of the village is several luxury hotels along the
five km long, white beach. This is a good place for
swimming, but in contrast to Kuta a little bit further
north not a good place for surfing. The area is turning
into a tourist area in the upper price levels, something
that will have great consequences for the small fishing
village.
Still daily life goes on like it has for centuries,
the fishermen leaves for their nightly catch and religious
ceremonies is held on the beach and in the temples.
The
main road from Sanur to Nusa Dua passes on the east
side of the narrow land stripe that connects the Bukit
peninsula with the rest of Bali, and Jimbaran is therefore
not visible from this road. You have to follow the road
south, do an u-turn, go north and then left again in
the direction of the beach. It's not so much to see
in the village, many come here mainly for the delicious
seafood that can be enjoyed on one of the many local
warung's that is spread along the beach. Follow the
road along the beach west till it ends, there you will
see a cluster of restaurants that usually opens at 1700,
in time to order and enjoy the sunset.
You pick the seafood at the entrance, the fish and lobster
are alive or put on ice, and you should bargain to keep
the prices down. The tables stands on the beach, and
if the rain is not pouring down this can be a dinner
full of atmosphere when the sun goes down and the candlelight's
are lit. The food is grilled on coconut husks, the smoke
can be very irritating for your eyes, so watch the wind
when you pick a table.
Unlike Kuta there is limited accommodation here in the
lower price levels, most of the hotels are five star
or middle class. From here it is a short way to the
large tourist spots on South Bali, and only 10 minutes
to the airport. A dinner on Jimbaran can be a nice end
of a trip to for example Uluwatu on the southern tip
of Bali. |
