Kuta Beach stretches along Bali’s southwestern coast, between Legian and Tuban. Its sandy shoreline draws beginner surfers to manageable waves, with surf schools nearby, and gives you room for a swim, a stroll or a jog. Come in the evening for sunset, or find a spot on the sand with a drink from a vendor. The beachfront is lively, with restaurants and cafes close by, so this is a better fit if you enjoy an active, busy resort area than if you want a quiet beach.
Surf and beach activities

For exercise, the beach is less crowded in the early morning. A jog between 06:00 and 07:30 takes you along the Kuta coastline.
Sunset and the beachfront

The beachfront path passes street vendors and restaurants. Jalan Pantai Kuta, also known as Kuta Beach Walking Street, is one of the area’s main thoroughfares, with dining and shopping nearby.
