Read guideJimbaran runs on a slower rhythm than Kuta or Canggu - a long stretch of soft-sand beach, fishing boats pulled up on the shore in the morning, and rows of open-air seafood restaurants that turn the whole beachfront into one long dinner table by sunset. It's one of the better half-day trips on the is
Read guideUluwatu and Jimbaran sit close enough together that pairing them into one day trip barely takes any extra planning — a short drive separates the cliffside temple from the beachfront seafood strip, and doing both in a single day is one of the more efficient ways to spend an afternoon and evening in s
Read guideCanggu's beach clubs mostly run on card and QR payment these days, which makes it easy to assume you don't need cash at all for a day at one. That assumption trips people up more often than you'd think — here's what actually needs cash, and what doesn't.
