Amed
Indonesia · East Bali · 10 m
Description
Amed is a string of peaceful fishing villages on Bali's dry northeastern coast and is one of the island's most unspoiled coastal regions. The area is known for its black volcanic beaches, clear waters, vibrant coral gardens, and the nearby USS Liberty shipwreck in Tulamben, one of Indonesia's most famous dive sites. Traditional jukung outrigger boats, historic salt farms, and the majestic Mount Agung shape the coastal landscape. Amed combines authentic Balinese coastal culture with a relaxed atmosphere and excellent opportunities for scuba diving, freediving, and snorkeling. The region is widely regarded as one of Bali's premier underwater sports destinations and an ideal retreat for travelers seeking tranquility, nature, and a slower pace of island life.
