1. KUTA BEACH
Kuta is administratively a district (kecamatan) and
subdistrict/village (kelurahan) in southern Bali, Indonesia.[1] A former fishing
village, it was one of the first towns on Bali to see substantial tourist development, and
as a beach resort remains one of Indonesia's major tourist destinations. It is
known internationally for its long sandy beach, varied accommodation, many
restaurants and bars, and many renowned surfers who visit from Australia. It is located
near Bali's Ngurah Rai
Airport.
Kuta was the site of the October 12, 2002 1st Bali
bombing
(202 killed) and the October 1, 2005 2nd Bali
bombing
(26 killed).
The Balinese Provincial Government have taken
the view that the preservation of the Balinese culture, natural resources and
wildlife are of primary importance in the development of the island. To this
end they have limited tourist development to the peninsula on the extreme
southern aspect of the island; Kuta beach is on the western side of this
peninsula and Sanur is on the east.
To the north of the peninsula no new tourist development is supposedly
permitted.[citation needed].
To the south, Kuta Beach extends beyond
the airport into Jimbaran. Other nearby
towns and villages include Seseh (6.4 nm), Denpasar (4.5 nm), Ujung (1.8 nm), Pesanggaran (2.0 nm),
Kedonganan (2.9 nm) and Tuban (1.0 nm).
