Discover Amed: Bali’s Hidden Gem for Nature Lovers and Photographers
Amed is a small fishing village located on the eastern coast of Bali. Despite becoming a favourite spot of nature lovers and photographers, Amed is still the quiet, picturesque community it has always been. It is the absence of the tourist hustle and bustle in a place like Kuta or Seminyak that attracts visitors with Amed's picturesque landscapes, volcanic beaches, and a serenity that is just the thing for those who want to escape and find themselves again. The places in Amed have a lot to offer to explorers in the form of the wonderfully huge mountains and alive coral reefs that need a picture on your list of places to see in Bali.
Jemeluk Bay Viewpoint
Perhaps the most famous spot in Amed is where a viewpoint is located, from which the turquoise bay of Jemeluk can be seen sprawling, with Mount Agung in the background carving the crown and glory. A visit to this viewpoint at sunrise or sunset is a lovely idea; you will witness the beauty of the golden light and blue skies merging into one. Do not forget to take a camera with you, as the spectacle of the fishing boats, turned traditional; resting on the beach with the outline of a volcano in the back is, no doubt, in terms of pictures, image-perfect.
Japanese Shipwreck Dive Site
The Japanese Shipwreck, which is located in Banyuning Village, is a must-visit. The easy-to-reach wreck site, which lies just a few meters away from the shore, is not that deep and is surrounded by colourful coral gardens and a rich underwater world, which is why it is an ideal place for snorkelling and novice divers. The magic conveyed through the dark mass of the wreck lying aside numerous species of sea creatures proves that it is one of the most significant and magical underwater places of Amed.
Sunset at Lipah Beach
Lipah Beach, with its black sand volcano, calm water, and peacefulness, is one of the most secret places in Amed. Lipah Beach is also one of the must-check places for sunset lovers, as the view from there is one of the most beautiful in the area. The reflected colours of the sky over the sea make up a special peace and romance that make it perfect for a good rest after an eventual long day of discovery. The sight has the power to stay forever in everyone's mind, be it during a sand bath or when having dinner by or on the beach the impressions will not be forgettable.
