Guide to Kuta Beach Bali

Kuta Beach is the most famous beach in Bali and the first one most people see.

Its proximity to the cheap guest houses on Poppies I & II as well as Jl. Benesari and the budget hotels on Jl. Melasti make it super accessible for a surfer just arriving for the first time. For someone staying at hotel Bounty on Poppies II for example you only have to walk for about 3 minutes and you will be at the beach.

At the bottom end of Jl. Pantai Kuta you will see the lifeguard tower which is in operation from 6am to 7pm. It is equipped with 2 jet-skis, a Toyota Landcruiser and a surf rescue longboard. There have been over 300 rescues in 2004 as well as 14 drownings.
