LOVINA BEACH NORTH BALI.
Lovina
Beach
about six km west of Singaraja north coast Bali. Its the
popular beach resort of Lovina is a long stretch of
black sand bordering the coastal villages of Anturan,
Tukad Mungga, Kalibukbuk, Kaliasem and Temukus. Numerous
hotels and restaurants have sprung up here, lining the
coast for some 7 km. The pace of life at Lovina reflects
the calmness and safety of the sea. This is an excellent
spot for swimming and snorkeling, particularly near the
reef, and local boats are for hire. The sunsets at
Lovina are particularly spectacular.
Lovina stretches along 8km of black-sand beach, the
largest resort in Bali outside the Kuta-Legian-Seminyak
conurbation. Beginning 6km west of Singaraja, the resort
encompasses six villages: Pemaron, Anturan, Tukad Mungga,
Kalibukbuk, Kaliasem and Temukus. Kalibukbuk is
generally accepted as the centre of Lovina and it's here
you'll find most tourist facilities.
The name “Lovina” was coined by the last king of
Buleleng. A convert to Christianity, he gave the name to
a small tract of land that he purchased at Kaliasem,
where he built the Tasik Madu (“Sea of Honey”) Hotel in
the 1960s. The name Lnvina sigaifies the “love” that is
contained “in” the heart of all people
Near
the northern tip of the island of Bali lies a stretch of
villages by the Bali Sea. Lovina Beach is the name.
Lovina is really a string of coastal villages to the
west of Singaraja. Escape from the hustle and bustle of
Kuta to Lovina Beach located in north Bali, about 100
kilometers from southern tourist hotspots. It is well
known as an excellent site for sunset watching,
snorkeling, and diving. Darkly beautiful, Lovina offers
quiet and calm, and is popular Asian tourists and those
avoiding the hustle and bustle of the southern beaches.
A number of coves offer tranquil, protected waters and
Lovina is one of them. Although the sand is grey, it is
quiet and peaceful, and popular among those who shun the
glitzier beach resorts of the south. It is a popular
place for dolphin watching; dolphins play in the water
off Lovina. Famous for its early morning
dolphin-watching boat trips, Lovina also offers good
snorkeling and diving, and trekking in the nearby
mountains. Diving off Menjangan Island, part of the Bali
Barat National Park, is generally regarded as the best
in Bali. Boats are readily available to take divers over
to the island, where there are no residents or hotels.
Nightlife
activities are also abound, as well as chartered boats
to go out into the sea. If we like what Kuta offers but
do not like the crowd. With a wonderful variety of
hotels, restaurants and bars located on or very near the
calm beach, Lovina offers something for everyone. It is
also a good base to take day trips to the nearby
attractions of north and west Bali.
Lovina is for those who like
still waters (no surf) and are not fussy about the color
of the beach.Lining up of busy losmen and hotels with
the depleted shady sea makes Lovina one of the most
stirring beaches in Bali. Tranquility, incredible under
water world and popular attraction is the dolphin
watching.
