Lovely beaches but not as quiet as I expected or I was told. I went during the christmas period where business is very slow for the locals so everyone was desperate to sell you something or get you to go on a day trip.This is good when your are wanting to sightsee and there are many things to see and do in Bali but not so good if you can not even lie on the beach for half an hour. it was an absolutely fantastic and interesting experience and the people are very welcoming and willing to tell you all about their religion,culture.Be warned that you will be taken to many different shops no matter if you go with a local guide or the hotel guide.One local guide, named Tarzan(yes for real!) was a real pleasure to spend days with and nights drinking in the bar he worked in, he is worth asking around for. Beautiful place, seeing the rice fields, temples in particular the water temple is a must see where people clense themselves from illness. With the exception of feeling bombarded with offers to do thingsat all times(even phoning the hotel room) it was an enjoyable break and certainly a different christmas for us(scallops on the beach on christmas day-amazing!)
