Water Activities.
Lovina and North Bali do not have great surf beaches, in fact there are NO surf beaches. The sea is calm, peaceful, warm and clean. The sand is a light grey colour, quite fine and nice to walk on. In south Bali dining and entertainment is across a road from the beach, in North Bali entertainment and dining is right on the beach only meters from the water.
