Kuta Beach is a 5 km (3 mi) long stretch of white sand with clear blue water. It is lined by a lush vegetation as well as residential areas and hotels and resorts. At the South end of the beach is the Ngurah Rai International Airport, and from there, Kuta Beach stretches as far as the eye can see to end up North near the town of Tanjung Aan.

What contributes the most to the lure of Kuta Beach is probably that it offers stunning sunsets over the Indian Ocean. Just for this reason, it is well worth a detour.
