Kuta Beach is located in the western part of Bali Island, precisely in Kuta District, Badung Regency. One of the things that makes this beach always crowded, other than because of its beauty, is because of its strategic location. Kuta Beach is located not far from Ngurah Rai International Airport. From the airport to the beach, the trip only takes about 15 minutes.

The travel time will increase very long at certain times, such as in the holiday season between July-September. During this period, the road to Kuta Beach will be filled with queues of cars.

Faced with this, the management made various efforts so that vehicles are not too piled up on the road to the beach. One of them is by applying transit parking which is centered in Central Parking Kuta. Large buses carrying groups of tourists are required to park their vehicles there. The trip to the beach continues using special transportation at a rate of Rp 10,000 / person.

Entering the beach area, visitors will be greeted by a magnificent archway shaped temple briefly. This gate is the southernmost marker of the Kuta area. Afterward, visitors will be enchanted by the long coastline and soft sand.

Seeing the crowds of tourists visiting this beach, it would be difficult to think that this beach was once part of a trade transportation route. In the past, Kuta Beach was a trading port that brought traders from Bali with traders from various regions. From this trader, news of the beauty of Kuta Beach spread.

Sitting on the soft sand of Kuta Beach, from a distance, we could see the surfers rushing to beat the waves. Kuta Beach is known for having good waves but it is quite safe. Therefore, it is not surprising that this beach has become one of the recommended places for beginner surfers.

Around the beach, there are also places that provide surfing equipment rental services – complete with local money instructors ready to guide tourists who want to learn to surf. Rental prices offered are also varied, depending on the intelligence of visitors to bargain prices.

Besides being famous for its challenging waves, Kuta is also famous for its breathtaking sunset views. Slowly, the bias in the afternoon sun fell from the sky until it finally disappeared as if swallowed by the open sea. Many consider that a visit to Kuta Beach is incomplete if you haven’t seen the sunset on this beach. For this reason, after tired of surfing, visitors can unwind by relaxing in lazy chairs or mats that are rented locally while enjoying this beautiful panorama.

Kuta has indeed become one of the symbols of tourism in Bali, even Indonesia. No wonder entertainment supporting facilities for tourists are not difficult to find along this beach. Various restaurants, cafes, and lodging with various classes are scattered along the streets of Kuta as the number of visitors continues to increase from year to year. Although on the one hand, this is an encouraging thing for the world of tourism in Bali, on the other hand, poses a threat in the aspect of cleanliness as the amount of waste generated by tourists continues to increase.

The high intensity of tourist arrivals to Kuta Beach is like two sides of a coin. On the one hand it is very helpful in increasing regional income, but on the other hand making this beach relatively more dirty than other beaches in Bali. Therefore, awareness of the tourists who come is needed so that this beach still displays its beauty. In fact, the way to be a connoisseur and lover of the beach is very simple, namely by not throwing garbage in any place.
