Stretching down the southeast coast just 18km northeast of Ngurah Rai Airport, SANUR is an appealing, more peaceful alternative to Kuta, with a long, fairly decent white-sand beach, plenty of attractive accommodation in all price brackets and a distinct village atmosphere. There are plenty of restaurants and some bars, but the nightlife is pretty tame. A huge expanse of shore gets exposed at low tide and the reef lies only about 1km offshore at high tide. The currents beyond the reef are dangerously strong, which makes it almost impossible to swim here at low tide, but at other times of day swimming is fine and watersports are popular. You'll find Sanur's best sand in front of the Grand Bali Beach in north Sanur, where non-guests can rent sun-loungers for a small fee. Many of south Bali's watersports facilities are centred in Sanur. In general, prices are higher at the hotels than at the independent places on the beachfront and along the main roads. All these places rent out canoes, windsurfers and jet skis, and most offer parasailing as well. Sanur is quite a good place to learn to dive, as the local diving sites are close by. All Sanur dive centres run certificated diving courses and one-day diving excursions (including tanks and weights only) for US$60-80.
