Kuta Beach

Kuta Beach is a tourist spot located in Kuta district south of Denpasar City, Bali, Indonesia. This area is a tourist destination for foreign tourists and has been a mainstay tourist attraction on the island of Bali since the early 1970s. Kuta Beach is often referred to as sunset beach as opposed to Sanur beach. Apart from that, I Gusti Ngurah Rai Air Field is located not far from Kuta. Before becoming a tourist attraction, Kuta was a trading port where local products were traded to buyers from outside Bali. In the 19th century, Mads Lange, a Danish trader, came to Bali and established a trading base in Kuta. He was an expert at negotiating so he was famous among the kings of Bali and the Netherlands. Furthermore, Hugh Mahbett published a book entitled “Praise to Kuta” which contains an invitation to the local community to prepare tourist accommodation facilities. The aim is to anticipate an explosion of tourists visiting Bali. The book then inspired many people to build tourist facilities such as accommodation, restaurants and entertainment venues. Kuta Beach is famous for having good waves for surfing, especially for beginner surfers. Apart from its beauty, Kuta beach tourism also offers various types of entertainment such as bars, restaurants, shops, restaurants, hotels and grocery stores, as well as street vendors along the beach towards Legian Beach.
