This place could be reached by any kind of four-wheel vehicles. The beach condition is clean with its white sand and, spruce-fir grows along the coast.

Shallow water off the beach is safe for swimming, ending in a coral wall dropping into the depths about 150m from shore. Snorkellers can see turtles and manta rays here, with exciting diving deeper down featuring strong currents, cold water and big sharks.

Bali Beach

With its fine beaches, pounding surf, emerald-green rice terraces and exceptionally artistic culture, the small volcanic island of Bali - the only Hindu society in Southeast Asia - has long been Indonesia's premier tourist destination.

Pantai Panjang Beach

Pantai Panjang beach is only 3 km from the center of Bengkulu City. The Beach is seven kilimeters in length with the width of 500 meters in hotmix street. Many public transportation to and from the beach are available. There are spruce-fir grows along the beach. The restaurants and hotel facilities are also available.

Padang Bai Beach

Several places in Padang Bai rent out snorkelling equipment: there's good snorkelling at Blue Lagoon, just around the headland in Amuk Bay, but it's even better to charter a boat; ask at Celagi restaurant or your guesthouse. The dive operation, Geko Dive, is a large set-up on Jalan Silayukti with a lot of experience.

Pulau Bintan Beach

- Situated less than 10km from Batam at the closest point, Pulau Bintan is about two and a half times the size of Singapore, which seems to have left plenty of room for traditional culture to survive alongside the plush tourist development. Not only is it more attractive than other nearby islands, but there's much more of an Indonesian feel about the place and things are reasonably priced.

Lovina Beach

Lovina stretches along 8km of black-sand beach, the largest resort in Bali outside the Kuta-Legian-Seminyak conurbation. Beginning 6km west of Singaraja, the resort encompasses six villages: Pemaron, Anturan, Tukad Mungga, Kalibukbuk, Kaliasem and Temukus. Kalibukbuk is generally accepted as the centre of Lovina and it's here you'll find most tourist facilities.

Nusa Lembongan Beach

The Perama office serves as the tourist information service and is in Jungutbatu between Pondok Baruna and Nusa Indah bungalows; you can book tickets here to destinations on Bali, Lombok and Sumbawa. There are at least daily departures, but all destinations apart from Ubud, Kuta and Sanur require a stop-over on the way.

Kuta and Legian Beach

The beach is quite possibly the most beautiful in Bali, with its gentle curve of golden sand stretching for 8km, lashed by huge breakers. These waves make Kuta a great beach for surfers, but less pleasant for swimming, with a strong undertow: always swim between the red- and yellow-striped flags.

Lampu'uk Beach

Lampu'uk beach is a glorious sandy arc that's both a popular day-trip and a pleasant alternative base for travellers, chiefly because of the excellent Aceh Bungalows on the beach here.

Grajagan Beach

The beach, Pantai Coko, is signed from the village: it's 300m to the gate and then another 2km through the forest to the black-sand beach.
Due to the surf, take local advice from the forestry office about safe swimming spots, and never swim near the rocks. .

Candi Dasa Beach

The tourist developments have spread 8km west around the bay, through the villages of Senkidu, Buitan and Manggis, where the beach is still a respectable size. To get to a decent beach from Candi itself, follow the road past Bunga Putri at the end of Forest Road up onto the headland and then down onto the black sand on the other side.

Pulau Weh Beach

Pulau Weh is yet another gorgeous Indonesian paradise, with excellent diving and snorkelling possibilities and white sandy beaches. The main attraction here is the excellent snorkelling - gear can be rented from Stingray's office in Ibioh.

Rapang Beach

Rapang is an attractive, horseshoe-shaped beach, 2km south of Ibioh, with its own family of five hawksbill turtles. There is a small selection of bungalows here, with prices similar to those at Ibioh. .

Lhong Angen Beach

Lhong Angen , lies on the western side of the island. It's one of the best, although for six months of the year it completely disappears - swept away by the sea in November, returning again in May.

Sumbawa

Sumbawa is often perceived as an inconvenient but necessary bridge between Lombok and Komodo, but it does hold some fine west-coast beaches, as well as spectacular coral just offshore at Pulau Moyo.

Sanur

Sanur is an appealing, more peaceful alternative to Kuta, with a long, fairly decent white-sand beach, plenty of attractive accommodation in all price brackets and a distinct village atmosphere.

Ende Beach

Situated on a narrow peninsula with flat-topped Gunung Meja and the active volcano Gunung Ipi at the sea end, the port of Ende is the largest town on Flores and provides access for Keli Mutu and Moni.

Kuta Beach

The simply glorious beaches of Seger and Tanjung Aan are easily accessible from Kuta and, at a push, walkable, though bicycles are a good idea. Seger is closest to Kuta (1km east) and is now the location of the luxury Novotel. To reach Tanjung Aan (5km), follow the road east out of the resort and take the first sealed turning to the right.
