Kuta is the best known tourist resort area on the island of Bali and has a great surfing beach.
With a long broad Indian Ocean beach-front, Kuta was originally discovered by tourists as a surfing paradise.It has long been a popular stop on the classic backpacking route in South East Asia.Today Kuta still attracts some hardcore backpackers as well as families and tourists from all over the world, and is most notably a playground for young visitors from Australia.
Due to the ever increasing popularity of Bali, Kuta is continually developing, and is not short of unsightly, poorly planned buildings. It can come across at times to be chaotic, overcrowded and congested. However, amongst all the mayhem this place somehow works, and hundreds of thousands of visitors enjoy their time in Kuta every year.
