The beaches are packed with jukungs, traditional Indonesian fisherman's boats owned by the local people. Snorkelers and divers will enjoy this place as well as people looking for tranquillity. At night, after a long day in the water there is total tranquillity in Amed!
Candi Dasa
For a long time Candi Dasa was a quiet fisherman's village. Construction was taken up recently in order to relieve tourism around Kuta and Legian a little. With the construction of many luxury hotels the beach has been eroded completely. Nowadays Candi Dasa Beach is a far cry from what it used to be.

For tourists Candi Dasa remains a pleasant starting point to discover the east coast.
