The local end of Tanjung Benoa Bali
The end of Jl. Pratama in Tanjung Benoa leads to he local fishing village. As soon as the watersports and tourist industry stuff stops its 'localville' again and a totally different scene. At the small intersection complete with statue in the middle is a temple complete with 7-tiered meru, the multi-roofed structure. I said hello to a couple of locals sitting in front of a shop and then road another 100 meters north to the very end of the cape. When I arrived I noticed the huge white masjid (mosque) that is close by and listened to a priest calling people to afternoon prayers over the loudspeaker. I know that religion spreads with trade and fishing ports are the places where you will find a strong Muslim influence. A brick pathway leads around in front of the breakwater and after parking I strolled along checking out people drying fish and doing other daily tasks.
About 100 meters along I came to the Surya Cafè and bought a large Carlsberg for 18,000rp. This cafe was out of place and the staff told me that it attracts a mixture of foreigners and locals, the draw being the uninterrupted view of the port of Benoa and Serangan Island.
For a person staying in a big hotel like the Ramada who wants a taste of local nightlife you might wander down here and order a drink.
