Amed Coast
Amed
East Bali’s most popular base along the coast, with black-sand fishing villages strung out in a row. Snorkeling in Jemeluk Bay and a Japanese shipwreck are the highlights.
The Amed Coast is a stretch of shoreline about 10 kilometers long on the northeast flank of Mount Agung. It is made up of several fishing villages, including Jemeluk, Lipah and Bunutan. Colorful traditional two-oared fishing boats rest on the black volcanic sand. In Jemeluk Bay, coral and schools of fish are just a few meters off the shore, and the headland viewpoint is the best place to watch the sunrise and the volcano. The Japanese shipwreck at Bunutan lies only a few meters deep, so you can see it while snorkeling. This is also the center of freediving in Bali. From Ubud or the airport the drive takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. Guesthouses and dive shops are cheaper than in the south.
