Surfers and non-surfers alike have been drawn to Bali to experience its beautiful beaches, interesting culture and gorgeous landscapes.  Especially popular with tourists is Kuta Beach.  On the southern coast of Bali, Kuta is a long, golden beach with many resorts.  North of Kuta is Ubud, a small, cool town in the mountains famous for arts and crafts.

Unlike most of Indonesia, Bali’s population is majority Hindu.  There are many wonderful old stone temples in Bali, including the famous Tanah Lot.  These temples, along with other cultural performances and ceremonies are big attractions for tourists.

Bali has great weather: it is usually hot and sunny.  This makes it easy for people to enjoy sports like surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, and hiking.
