Well...i didnt hav the time to go to the north west coz of time constraint....
but i went to "padangbai" which is at the east if u look at the Bali map. Its somewher near to the famous AMED BEACH. Its a beautiful fishing village wher thers 2 quiet beach. Both is within walking distance...but requires some trekking over small hills...1 will take 5mins the other 10mins...
The accomodation is very cheap ... cost us oni 30 000 Rupish for the small rm. IT would cost 40 000 or 50 000 for the stoned houses/ or called the cottages... The environment is realli relaxing. Not many ppl to disturb u. But e fd is oso very cheap...(but i guess all the places offer cheap fd, other than Kuta Beach.) I went to kuta oso but its too noisy mayb coz i stay at Padangbai before i came to kuta to do some shopping.
Well, it oso depends on wat u wana do...jus relax or water sports...
I bet the north beach is oso beautiful...like Lovina (wher u can see dolphin)...N oso the Mangenjaya island for snorkeling....
but these R black sand beaches...
well do some research & u will knoe....
