Senggigi: The gateway to Lombok
Visitors to Bali, as well as expats sometimes look for an close alternative, to the Bali beach scene. One option is Senggigi Lombok.
An old copy of the Indonesia Handbook, from 1991 has this description:
The coral and snorkeling at this popular beach area, 6km north of Ampenan, is fantastic-4 straight kms of pure white sand, blue-green sea, and no crowds.

Tuban beach on a sunny day
Stepping through Discovery Shopping Mall from Jl. Kartika Plaza, one could be anywhere in the world, London, Singapore, Jakarta. Stepping out the other side, one immediately realizes this is not London! Kuta Bay curves round, swinging past Kuta Beach to the right of the picture, and down towards the airport. If you really wanted to you could could walk from a Kuta guest house down the beach and get pretty close to the airport, a novel way of leaving.

Pantai Geger: Nusa Dua Bali
The term ‘Seminyak Wanker’ has been used before to describe some of the inmates of this neighborhood. The SW is basically a Euro Trash expat who has accomplished nothing in life except move to Bali. They have some favorite watering holes and yesterday Ika, Jevon and I stumbled onto a hornets nest. We have been to Pantai Geger once before when she was pregnant. The thing that we remembered was the quiet beach, safe swimming and good smooties from the restaurant. This Sunday we all jumped on the motorbike and headed down there.

Inaugural Jetski Championships: Seminyak, Bali
Jet skis are one machine that I have never tried out and I really should. They are extremely popular with young tourists and can be hired at most upmarket hotels.

Padang Padang Bali
Bali has numerous surfing breaks, and as any good surfer will know, the best breaks are down on the Bukit. The Bukit Peninsula is the ‘upside down mushroom’ shaped chunk of land at the southern end of the island. Its mostly reef breaks and this afternoon I went to have a look at Padang Padang.

Blue Ocean Beach this afternoon
A cloudy afternoon that was bright encouraged some people to make it out to Blue Ocean Beach. I made it out because I work out there, and man did I work up a sweat today. Next to the gym I go to is the Komala Pantai hotel, ideal for people who like the beach, enjoy the sunset drinks scene and like the proximity to Kuta to the south and Seminyak to the north. As well as the row of good places to get a drink and a bite to eat, the beach itself has local drink sellers. Just stroll over, sit down and you might make a friend. When my buddy Jay was here last year, he played guitar and had a crowd of about 15 people there, the drink seller popping beer bottle tops as fast as he could.

Best Bali beaches for a newcomer
The beaches in Bali are a big part of why people come. The great thing is that you can be on a beach within an hour of landing at Denpasar (DPS). Sun, sea and surf, or whatever triple combo tickles your fancy, is easily available since hotels in Tuban, Kuta, Legian and Seminyak are bullt on the beach. Crazy vendors may not be your kettle of fish, or maybe you are looking to meet a Kuta Cowboy, whatever your goals here is a quick look at some local beaches.
