Amed is located on the eastern coast of Bali near Amlapura, and is an ideal quiet seaside village that offers fishing or snorkeling (can be arranged at the low cost guest houses), and diving on the nearby reef and at Tulamben.
This area of north-eastern Bali, with its beautiful crescent shaped beaches of white sand blended with smooth dark gravel has only recently been discovered by tourists, and still retains its small fishing village charm. Other local industries include salt collection. A few losmen have sprung up to cater for travelers who want a quiet escape from the hotel crowds. Amed has a coral garden that starts right off the beach, with staghorn coral and huge schools of chromis fish making this Bali's best snorkeling area. SCUBA divers normally hire local fishermen to take them on the short boat ride to the popular local dive site, which has a beautiful coral garden, many species of reef fish, turtles, stingrays and parrot fish.
