However, none of these places will appeal to those who want to leave the bustle of everyday life. But there is no reason to despair. Because one of the little known secrets of Bali will prove to those willing to make the effort to get there :. The northeastern beautiful coast
hidden wonders of Tulamben
No trip to the north coast of Bali would not be complete without a visit to Tulamben . Although visitors may not be particularly impressed by his rather mundane than a kilometer long pebble beach, it is actually much more to the place than meets the eye.
For close to shore, hidden from view, is the wreck of a merchant class American Liberty ship. Torpedoed in the Lombok Strait by the Japanese during World War II, Tulamben became final resting place of the ship as it failed when it was towed to the Balinese port of Singaraja. The ship remained on the beach until it was pushed away from the shore and in deeper waters by lava after the eruption of Gunung Agung in 1963.
Today, the 0-meter long wreck is only about 30 meters wide, making it easily accessible for snorkelers alike. It lies at depths from nine to 30 meters and the point of the stern is higher than about 4 meters below the surface. And although broken, most of the original features of the ship - such as firearms, boilers and the anchor chain - are still clearly identifiable for divers. But best of all, being in very plankton-rich waters, the wreck has become a haven for a wonderful array of marine life. Schools of fusiliers and surgeonfish and more than 400 species of tropical fish have made their home.
And even away from the wreck, and a few meters from the coast, diving is still superb as a shallow coral reef stretches along the bay. Expect to see many tropical fish species butterflyfish bright colors, as well as angelfish and probably the most easily recognizable fish idol of all coral reef fish in wonderfully Moorish form. There are even huge triggerfish. But beware: this very territorial fish might bite if you get too close
The coastal tranquility Amed
In Tulamben, Amed is only a short! Drive half an hour away. Follow the road to the small town of Culik, then take the left turn towards. Although this part of the coastal road is often referred to as Amed by many tourists, it should be noted that Amed is actually just one of a number of small fishing villages nearby.
Substantially poorer than the rest of Bali, do not be surprised to see the local villagers bathing by the side of the road that fresh water is a scarce commodity here given the very dry climate of the region . Besides the panoramic salt and subsistence agriculture, there are few job opportunities, and many people earn their livelihood from fishing. The many brightly painted jukung (small traditional Balinese fishing boat) make for a picture postcard image, especially at sunrise when they come back to earth after a long night of fishing.
around eleven kilometers along the road is Culik Lipah Bay, a prime remote location. Near the shore is the wreck of a Japanese steel cargo in 6-12 meters of water. To find it, just go down the steps that are right in front of the chalets Eka Purnama the black stone beach. Although tiny in comparison to the wreck freedom, this small wreck is nonetheless ideal for snorkelling. Being in these shallow waters, the coral encrusted wreck is a mini-ecosystem in itself and snorkeling here is like a big aquarium. In this bay are some of the most beautiful coral fields in Bali. The large sea fans are a sight to behold.
Y
The reason why so few tourists go to the north coast of Bali is its inaccessibility. Shuttles have long ceased to attract tourists here, and since it is a good two and a half to three hours of road south of Bali, a taxi costs a small fortune. So if you really want to explore this region of Bali, then there is little choice but to hire a car or take a group tour. The best place to find a reputable car hire company at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali.
car rental options Much cheaper are available at places like Kuta and Ubud, although the testing of some of the cars may be questionable, and it can be difficult to know if the car is actually performed or not! Also remember that to rent a car in Bali, you must either have international driving license or a driving license Indonesia. Once on the road, extreme caution when driving in Bali - oncoming vehicles were infuriating tendency to drive on the side of the road! Amed coastal roads are very twisty. So do not be tempted to drink and drive or you'll end up in the sea!
Hotels and restaurants
Given the remoteness of the northeast coast, some fresh food to be brought to the nearest town, Amlapura. This may go some way to explain why the food in this region of Bali is often very poor - and in some cases inedible - while being very expensive compared to Indonesian standards. No chance to find wonderful restaurants Padang here! So be very careful when choosing a place to eat. Some of the restaurants in the busiest hotels are probably the best bet.
Regarding accommodation, there is plenty of choice, although most of the old hotels and guesthouses are rather dilapidated. However, as food, accommodation here is much more expensive compared to the rest of Bali.

Also keep in mind that Amed is dead as a dodo in the night. There is very little chance of any entertainment at all, except perhaps a discreet Balinese dance at one of the local restaurants. But what the heck: it is a small price to pay. After all, you are here to get out of there, did you not?
