Kuta · Attractions
Top attractions in Kuta
Kuta and Legian beaches, Waterbom Bali, and the Beachwalk, with what the surf and the crowds are actually like.
Kuta is Bali's original resort strip, a long stretch of surf beach beside Legian and Tuban close to the airport. Its wide beach is the place many people learn to surf, backed by the art market, the malls and the Waterbom water park a short walk inland. Legian Beach continues the sand north into quieter territory. The area is busy and central, and its sights sit within easy walking distance of one another.
