THE BEACHES OF BALI ISLAND

Jimbaran Bay Jimbaran is a name of fishing village before 1980 was a nice white sandy beach facing Indian ocean and sun sets. The location is on a bay between the cape of Nusa Dua and airport Ngurah Rai. In the past 2 of their village those are Kedonganan village and Jimbaran village itself were famous supplier for the whole Bali with their salted fish. The area was opened as the tourism resorts since the establishment of 2 famous resorts those are Four Seasons and Bali Intercontinental Hotel. Later followed by an other big hotels such as Pansea Puri Bali and Keraton Hotels, and various smaller bungalows. Since 1995 cafes started to proliferate until full along the beach line which is only around 1.5 kilo meters. Kuta Beach Kuta beach is the continuation of Jimbaran to the north as long as the western coast line of south west Bali. The beach which is around 4 kms long divided consecutively into Kuta Beach, Legian Beach, Seminyak Beach, Peti Tenget Beach, Berawa Beach, and Canggu Beach. First accommodation to have been built in Kuta was Kuta Beach Hotel in 1930 when the area was still very beautiful natural scenery with bush of pandanus and cocotiers. The location of this first hotel was exactly what is now Natour Kuta Beach Hotel, just on the south corner of Legian Beach Road. It was not much development until 1980, when the speed of construction of various accommodation and restaurant such was uncontrollable giving pressure to the local settlements. More than hundred of big and small hotels were filed up along the beach plus various establishments such as shops, supermarkets, banks, leisure centers, and so on. Starting 1990s the immediate impact of building proliferation are traffic jam, illegal migrant, hawkers, and various unexpected problem such as flooding and waste management. The most pressure was falling to those who had the rice fields, that they have to sell their rice field due to the cut-off the water supplier by the construction of buildings. Those who tried to insist not to sell their land could not cultivate any plantation, while under water resources was drained out by the water pump for hotels or restaurants or any kind of business establishments. On the other side, modern way of living is bustling with sparkling hotels, bars, discotheques, and various leisure. Most work forces now changed profession The sea along Jimbaran, Kuta, and Legian has some times to tourism related sector and related related services. strong under current swept. Based on experience it has been clearly indicated when it is dangerous and when one can swim on the sea. Those who do not very good in swimming are suggested take a very strong caution. Normally safety guard will put red-banner on the areas and time during dangerous under current, and during certain seasons. On the white sandy beach, guests usually start to sun bathe around 4 pm or even earlier. There were various lady massagers, hawkers, and those who want to practice their tongue in English and certain language. But all of these have been controlled by local security and were given the ethic of selling thing. The best way when you meet this people if you do not want to buy some thing is better not to give them response, Once you give response usually they will chase you to buy. Sanur Beach Before 1970 if one heard the name of Sanur, the immediate horrifying thinking is black magic. The whole Bali knew this, that Sanur, especially certain person in the village had strong magic practitioners. It was not rare the rumor among people that during certain season it was a magic power war between magic masters of Sanur and those of Kamasan village in Klungkung regency. People only saw round glimmering fires swept above houses, or among trees than colliding and broken into flakes of fires or slowly flying red light diminishing into the dark, and many strange thing people said. The first inscription disclosing the mystery of Balinese history was also found in Sanur, now preserved at the temple named " Pura Blanjong " This inscription dated back to 913 AD mentions the king Sri Kesari Warmadewa and " Walidwipa ". Wali is the variation of " Bali " and dwipa means island. This is probably the origin of the name " Bali ", although other opinion holds that " Bali " originally " Wali " means " offering" or Balinese " banten " It is believed that Sri Kesari is the founder of Warmadewa dynasty who ruled Bali for almost 425 yeas from around the year of 913 through 1345 AD. It was mentioned that the capital city of the kingdom is "Singhadwara" If Singhadwara is the port city which was probably Sanur itself, that means the place of the inscribed Now the position of the pillar is around 300 meters from pillar must have been constructed just on the beach line. the beach line. A team of archaeologists and geologists have the opinion that the sedimentation on the beach of Sanur was very rapid, in the past it was possible that the current of the sea around Sanur come from east part of Bali and just put the deposit of sediments on the beach which have made the beach longer and longer become more wider. Or a theory that the level of the sea has been going down recently, and will probably in certain period back to the level it was reached before. Before 1970, the village of Sanur was one of the village that produced lime stone for building materials. They collect the corals on the beach and burnt in a kiln resulting a yellow powder that sold to all areas of South Bali. Now this kind of industry has long been disappeared. The beach of Sanur consist of bigger granulations of white to yellow sandy beach with wider shallow sea bed. During low tide the beach look very wide due to this natural formation. The beach is good for swimming, and during Sunday from 4 pm the beach of Merta Sari, just south to Bali Hyatt hotel is always full of local people with their family. While during certain months, usually December until February it is often that wave brings sea weed waste so the beach look dirty. In 1996 a beach reclamation was don on the island of Serangan, just around 3 kms south of Sanur Beach. The reclamation causing the rerouting of the sea current to Sanur, as the deeper current is blocked. This have caused a great abrasion at some spots of Sanur beach. Sanur has attracted many important persons to visit it's magic name since 1930s such as artists, anthropologists, and writers. To mention a few are Dr. Jack Mershon with his anthropologist wife Katherine, painters such as Walter Spies, Le Mayeur de Bruxelles, anthropologist Jane Belo, a writer Vicki Baum, and other important persons. Le Mayeur even built his house and studio in Sanur after marrying Balinese lady named Ni Polok. Now his house has become a museum and still preserved for public. In 1965 was built the first biggest hotel in Bali that is The Grand Bali Beach Hotel. Then followed by Garuda Hotel ( now Sanur Beach Hotel ), Bali Hyatt Hotel, Sindu Beach Hotel, and various other big and small hotels. In it's later development Sanur not just for a comfortable overnight hotels, but has been developing also many leisure and sports activities such as sea-kayaking, outrigger, speed boats, water scooters, walking on sea bed, water skiing, diving, and many others.
