Treat yourself to a massage offered by one of the many masseuses with divans on the sand. If you're there in July, catch the Bali Kite Festival, a colorful international competition. « less

A walking path all the way along, lovely white beach, plenty of coffee shops and food cafes. Stalls selling their wares and we were not hassled. Watched the local fishermen which proved very interesting. No dislikes here at all.

visit at afternoon, you can swim, canoeing, or just walk around the beach and buy some snacks (roasted corn, vegetables spring rolls, fried tofu, meat balls, satay, cotton candy, etc). just pay for the parking fee about 2000 or 3000 rupiah. unfortunately the beach is not clean (trash every where)

Been coming to Sanur a few years now, and must say the beach area has worsened. Apart from an awesome walkway with great restaurants, beautiful decorations and fairylights at night, the daytime look is a bit different. Some areas in front of hotels are quite nice, clean sand, no rubbish. Most parts though seem to be neglected. Garbage is floating... More

The beachfront walk is nice with amazing view of Mt.... More

The town itself is small, but quaint and you really feel like a local. We met a man on the beach that took us to some island during the day where we snorkeled and road bikes and even witnessed a cremation ceremony.
