Kuta Bay
Including the beach sites of Kuta and Legian, this area has been a major drawcard for more than 25 years, offering cheap accommodation, Western food, great shopping, surf, sunsets and riotous nightlife. However, the events of October 2002, when 200 people were killed after the bombing of the Sari and Paddy's nightclubs, put a severe dent in tourist numbers.
Things are slowly recovering - the Sari nighclub re-opened in July 2003 - and tourist numbers are picking up, but the jury is still out on whether Kuta will ever be the same again. Some would say that's no bad thing - Kuta has long been disparaged for its rampant development, lowbrow nightlife and crass commercialism.
