Jimbaran has some of the best sandy beaches in South Bali, and the clear, calm water is great for swimming. Developers were quick to realize this; thus Jimbaran now hosts some of the finest high-end resorts on the island. Despite development, the town still looks like a fishing village, with small mom-and-pop seafood shacks serving up some of the best fish dishes on the island. It's a worthy day trip from Kuta for good eats alone, and the many resorts make it a comfy place to stay.
Getting There -- Jimbaran is on the road to Nusa Dua, south of Kuta. Cabs are plentiful.
