Sanur is a seaside town in the southeast of the island of Bali. Its long stretch of beach offers shallow waters. Colorful jukung fishing boats rest on the sand, backed by a paved cycling path. Restaurants line the length of the cycling path, all offering beachfront seats. It's a great little town for shopping as well, at a slow relaxed pace.

Sanur is located on the Eastern side of Bali, it has beautiful sunrises, offshore reefs protect the beach against the waves, and make it popular for windsurfing, boating, and other watersports.


Sanur is the gateway to Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida and Nusa Ceningan Islands, you can see the Islands from Sanur beaches.

Sanur is located on the East side of Bali (opposite side to Kuta), it is accessed off the Ngurah Rai Highway, 25 minutes from Kuta or 50 minutes from Ubud. If coming from Nusa Dua, the toll road makes it a quick 30 minute trip.
 

Sanur offers boats that can take you across to the Islands of Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida or Nusa Ceningan, these can be done as full day trips for snorkelling/diving etc (best done as part of a tour) or easily accessible, no tour needed if you wish to stay a night or two to explore the Islands.

Tickets can be purchased on the day, most boats leave from the end of Jalan Hang Tuah (off the beach, no jetty). There is a new jetty at Mertasari Beach, which some boat companies are using.
