5. Fierce Crushing Waves at Water Blow
What is in your mind when you hear the words ‘Bali’s beaches’? You might visualize white sandy beach with calm relaxing waves. While it is true, Water Blow offers you a different sensation. That is why more and more tourists visit this spot. It is a rocky area, not sandy one. Located on a high cliff, visitors will experience seeing fierce, huge waves crushing against the cliff. There is a narrow crack at the cliff through which the water will blow every time a big wave comes. Indeed, that view will make your jaw drop! If you are lucky enough, the blow can be quite high to wet you. So, bring extra clothes just in case. Anyway, to reach this ‘beach’ from Grand Hyatt Hotel Bali, you just need to find a vast field and walk through it following the footpath.
6. Wrecked Abandoned Pirate Ship
Ahoy, matey! Have you ever dreamed to be a pirate? Well, pirate is one fascinating character every child would love to play a role as. In Nusa Dua Bali, there’s a place with pirate-y feeling. You can be a pirate for one day in The Pirates Bay. Wear your pirate accessories and explore the areas with pirate-y decoration. Besides the huge abandoned pirate ship, there are small paddle boats, playground, and tree houses. By the way, The Pirates Bay is an oceanfront café and restaurant. So, the most basic thing you’ll do here is enjoying your meal. Besides having fun with all decoration there (which, by the way, gives you the feeling of being in pirates’ camp), make sure you steal a look at the gorgeous-looking sea.
7. Calm Aquamarine Seawater at Nusa Dua Beach
You don’t travel to beach resort area without going to its beaches. If you enjoy being in beautiful beaches with calm waves, Nusa Dua will surely excite you. The beaches here may not be great for surfing, but their beauty can beat those in Kuta and Seminyak. Nusa Dua Beach, or Pantai Mengiat, is one of the loveliest beaches in Bali to visit. While other beaches in Bali, especially Kuta, are mostly too crowded and loud, Nusa Dua Beach offers you ultimate relaxation in rather quieter ambiance. The soft and white sand which meets the clear aquamarine seawater is very relaxing to observe. It’s a perfect beauty!
So, those are seven things to see in Nusa Dua. Of course, they are not everything you can enjoy. Since there aren’t many public transportation available in Bali, using Bali private car rental is helpful. We hope this article gives you ideas on what to see in Nusa Dua. Enjoy your stay in Bali!
