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.
