Pantai Segara in Tuban Bali
Tourists flock to Kuta Beach and in late afternoon the place is packed with Indonesian school groups, camera happy Asian tourists, locals trying to sell anything they can think of and Europeans competing with the whiteness of the sand. I walked down from Kuta Beach and Poppies II towards the airport and the beach gets a lot quieter. Kuta Bay curves towards the Discovery Shopping Mall and at low tide the beach seems quite large. Low tide is a perfect time for a beach run or walk as the gradient tapers to something approaching flat. Continuing around the corner from the Discovery Mall I saw fishing boats that moored close to shore. These are all for hire and are actually good to take for an hours snorkeling. Many surfers use them to get to Kuta Reef and get dropped of for a couple of hours before the boat returns and picks them up. Hopefully.
I liked these 2 Balinese kids fresh from surfing with their beaten up old boards and no leg-ropes. I guess the pull of surfing is so strong that anything that floats will do. A beach up ahead full of locals splashing about and this is called Pantai Segara. It is the closest beach to the airport in Tuban and makes a nice change from tourist-laden Kuta. The Pantai Seafood Restaurant is right there on the beach to provide you with affordable snacks.
