Nusa Dua Beach
Beach in Nusa Dua (South Bali).
Nusa Dua Beach is the long run of pale sand in front of the big hotels of the gated resort area, sheltered by an offshore reef that keeps the water calm. A paved beach walk follows the shore past small stone breakwaters with pavilions. At low tide the lagoon drains to shallow sea-grass flats, so swimming is best around high water.
