Amed
has
become
a
region
of
around
7
beaches
stretching
from
Amed
itself
around
to
the
Eastern
most
point
before
the
tourist
strip
ends.
The
best
area
I
believe
is
the
Beach
2,
for
venues,
outlook
and
activity.
Other
areas
feel
a
bit
more
isolated
and
less
shady
yet
some
nice
resorts
around
east.
The
main
activities
I
recommend
are
Snorkeling,
viewing
the
amazing
Sunset
and
a
mountain
trip
to
Lahangan
Sweet.
A
bit
more
detail
later
in
this
review
for
you.
Pls
do
like
the
post
if
it's
helpful
to
you.
The
Land:
It's
a
whole
new
volcano!
this
one
is
much
older
and
eroded
away.
Ahmed
is
on
the
north.
The
dry
northern
coast
rain
shadow
with
poor
soil
gradually
gives
way
to
jungle
east
and
south
side.
Inside
the
Caldera
itself
is
the
lush
land
with
localised
rainfall
and
good
agriculture.
Beaches:
A
little
rocky
volcanic
yet
good
for
walking
using
crocs
or
sandals
yet
they
do
get
more
coral
based
and
beachier
sandy
as
you
head
east.
Fishing
boats
cover
much
of
them
yet
less
so
in
the
West.
The
Eastern
most
coves
on
each
beach
are
generally
the
best
spot
in
every
way.
Accommodation:
If
you
haven't
already
booked,
I
suggest
arriving
then
firstly
walk
the
beach
area
where
you
consider
staying.
You
will
view
the
venues
and
offerings
clearly.
vs.
the
busy
road,
maze
like
access
and
cacophony
of
often
ancient
signage.
Vacancies
will
often
be
displayed
beach
side
on
blackboards.
We
stayed
at
smaller
more
local
run
villas
featuring
beach
Warung
in
two
locations(beach
one
then
beach
two)
with
great
beach
connection
rather
than
expensive
resort.
AHMED
SUNSET
BEACH
(with
pool)&
then
WARUNG
PANTAI
BUNGALOWS
(beach
side
shady
trees).
If
we
were
not
staying
literally
on
the
beach
BLUE
EARTH
VILLAGE
was
looking
good
for
location
and
everything
else.
Food,
Drink
&
Cafe:
The
best
cafe
is
RIMBA
CAFE,
top
notch,
amazing
work
RIMBA
keep
it
up
🙏
Beautiful
shady
garden
cafe.
The
best
place
to
view
the
Sunset
is
a
club
for
that
purpose,
SUNSET
POINT
AMED
BALI,
this
is
atop
a
headland
overlooking
beach
two,
it
features
an
infinity
pool,
it's
busy,
large
and
has
music.
The
sunset
and
the
mountains
were
wonderful
👍
Generally
for
food
all
along
the
beaches
locals
are
doing
fresh
seafood
grilled
on
hot
coals,
just
go
with
the
catch
of
the
day
while
dining
on
the
sand
where
you
stay
most
likely,
the
real
deal,
we
had
brekky
included
at
both
our
very
affordable
stays.
A
bit
of
live
music
around.
Walking
to
the
next
set
of
festoons
is
worthwhile.
Activities:
YOGA
was
a
bit
out
of
luck,
one
weird
ayurvedic
sort
of
venue
doing
a
session
weekly
only.
Blue
Earth
Village
the
main
venue
with
a
space
and
Gym
currently
has
no
resident
teacher
and
nothing
to
offer.
There
is
real
opportunity
for
a
Yoga
instructor
in
Ahmed!
SNORKELING
features
coral
and
some
beautiful
reef
fish.
The
best
spots
are
in
the
Eastern
coves.
Just
rent
gear
from
your
hosts,
simple
and
an
activity
I
wish
I
had
of
applied
more
sunscreen
for!
There
is
a
wreck
further
along
yet
it's
best
when
tide
is
calm
and
not
a
must
see,
the
best
I
had
was
just
under
Sunset
Point
on
beach
two.
LAHANGAN
SWEET,
this
is
the
highest
point
around
up
in
the
nearby
jungle
mountains
on
the
western
side
of
the
Caldera,
it's
30
minutes
away
by
bike
and
the
road
is
off
beach
3.
The
valley
into
the
Caldera
is
beautiful
rural.
Take
care
if
two
on
one
bike
as
it's
bloody
steep
at
points,
use
gears
or
risk
brake
overheating
and
failure
on
the
descent,
the
final
access
to
the
peak
is
either
pay
for
a
4WD
jeep
transfer,
walk
or
bike(no
weak
scooter).
It's
only
800M
so
walking
is
fine
if
you
are
not
a
money
bags
and
have
time.
I
biked
solo
yet
slid
on
both
wheels
coming
down,
don't
dream
about
this
trip
in
the
wet.
The
actual
tourism
ticket
price
is
about
20k
a
booth
near
the
peak.
A
local
Warung
up
there,
great
service
plus
WiFi.
If
you
do
it
don't
rush,
it
was
amazing,
the
destination
and
the
journey,
great
land
and
great
people.
Enjoy
Amed,
at
least
a
two
day
stay.
Thank
you
to
the
local
people
🙏
