Lovina Beach is in the West of Singaraja in North Bali. These
days the mix of tourists is mainly families and couples rather than the
backpackers of year. It is comprised of several narrow stretches of black
volcanic sand. Lovina, like most of Bali, fills up with tourists from all over
the world in August and then Australians at Christmas.
Kalibukbuk is the largest and most developed village but it is
just two streets of hotels, bars, restaurants, cafe and dive shops running down to
the beach. There is a wide range of accommodation and restaurants to suit all
budgets and tastes. There are two clubs and several bars, but the nightlife is
generally low key and easy going.
You can to go to Lovina by bus from all parts of Bali, but it will
be a long ride from the East or South. Getting your own car with or without a
driver ( I don't recommend without!!) is a much easier way to get to the North.
And Bemo’s are the local public transport buses and they ply all the local
routes. Again it is much easier to hire a driver and car for any longer
journey. You can travel from Kuta in less than 3 hours and from the airport or
Sanur in about 2.30 hours. You will travel through (Pura Ulun Danu) Bedugul and
could go the pretty way through Munduk if you are not in a hurry. So you could
stop to take in the temple, lakes and rice paddies on your trip.
