Sanur is a quiet resort area on the SE coast of Bali. It is also home to many expats, with the International School located there. Today, while checking out some of the shops, along Jl. Danau Tamblingan, the long main street, Sanur felt quiet. It seemed to me many places had ‘sale signs’ and the sidewalks were not so crowded. At Jl. Mertasari, I turned of and headed towards the beach for a look.
Today was cloudy and humid, not exactly beach weather. Correspondingly, most of the water-sports people, and beach vendors were sitting under shady trees hoping for business. Further along the paved beach-walk, the rock and leaf speckled beach became a golf course-like scene, with flat rows carved in it, by resort hotel staff. Its the same in Seminyak, where staff rake the beach creating a more picture perfect view of paradise. European holidaymakers at one hotel lounged close to the beach-walk, waiting for massages or the next cocktail. I’m sure you can get deals on rooms right now.
