Clean white sand, shallow waters and cheap prices make this a favourite beach destination for locals. In the weekend afternoons this place is heaving with families having a good time.
Bali’s first beach tourist town
It was not until the 1960’s that Sanur first starting seducing overseas vistors. The secluded sea side village was a place where artists, painters and musicians discovered Bali’s beauty. In their wake followed more and more visitors, making Bali a world favourite tourist destination. But it all started here in Sanur.
Do as the locals do

Rent an umbrella (IDR 50.000 for a day), buy a kite (IDR 100.000) or have a grilled chicken or tuna sateh (IDR 20.000) with an es kelapa (coconut with ice). Support the Sanur economy by spending your money locally!
Keep Sanur clean!
