Kuta Beach is
the best known tourist resort area on the island of Bali in Indonesia and has a
great surfing beach.
With a
long broad Indian Ocean beach-front, Kuta was originally discovered by tourists
as a surfing paradise.
It has
long been a popular stop on the classic backpacking route in South East Asia.
Back in the 1980s they used to talk about the three Ks: Katmandu in Nepal, Khao
San Road in Bangkok and Kuta. Today Kuta still attracts some hardcore
backpackers as well as families and tourists from all over the world, and is
most notably a playground for young visitors from Australia.
Due to
the ever increasing popularity of Bali, Kuta is continually developing, and is
not short of unsightly, poorly planned buildings. It can come across at times
to be chaotic, overcrowded and congested. However, amongst all the mayhem this
place somehow works, and hundreds of thousands of visitors enjoy their time in
Kuta every year.
Infrastructure
has come a long way in Kuta, although it is still insufficient for the amount
of visitors who stay in the area. Some side alleys still have significant
potholes and road rules still don't mean very much. Most roads are constantly
busy with motor scooters, metered taxis and private cars. Instead of using
signals, locals and the seasoned travellers honk their motor vehicles to signal
overtaking or squeezing into a tight spot near you. Often cars fold in their
side mirrors when negotiating narrow single lanes with parked vehicles. Now you
can access free Wi-Fi in local convenience stores, restaurants, cafes and
Hotels. There are half a dozen prepaid mobile phone SIM-cards available
everywhere with competitive top up plans. Touts will persistently try to get
you to buy something from them, whether you're walking on the streets or seated
in a restaurant.
The five
km long sandy stretch of Kuta is arguably the best beach front in Bali. The
beach is safe, partially clean, well-maintained, although the beach vendors
remain annoying pushing massages, hair braiding, cigarettes and surf boards.
The long wide stretch of sand is often full of sunbathers and although most of
the serious surfers have moved on to newer pastures, there are still plenty of
surf dudes around at most times of the year, and especially so during peak season.
As you move north along the beach to first LEGIAN and then Seminyak and
Petitenget it becomes progressively quieter and less frenetic.
The area
of south Kuta closest to the airport is more correctly known as Tuban. but this
name is rarely used.
Once the
sun goes down, Kuta is the rough and ready party zone of Bali, even after the
tragic events of 2002. Even the most hardened of party animal will find
something to please them on Jalan Legian at night
