Keramas accommodation from AU$185

Surfing is the ultimate activity in Keremas. As you walk through the peaceful little beach town you will notice that this really is what brings all the tourists here. With fantastic waves all within walking distance, all you need to do is hire a board and tackle the surf at your own pace. The most famous break is 'Keremas' which is only a short paddle from shore. Prefer something a little more adventurous? Hire a boat to take you to the famous Nusa Lembongan reef breaks, or some of the more hidden waves where you can really put your skills to the test. Bali's east coast is home to the best surfing in Indonesia.

Keremas Beach is made up of beautiful black volcanic sand, and has a romantic view of the sunset as the day draws to an end. The water is great for swimming, or simply sunbathing and watching the skills of some of the world's best surfers. Big fast waves provide a never-ending fascination for spectators, so you can spend hours simply gazing into their form and breaks.

Arguably the best time to visit Keremas for surfing is during the rainy season, because the wind typically blows from the west and creates the best swell. In reality you can find great places to surf at any time of the year. If you've never surfed before Keremas is a fantastic place to learn, and has many schools to hone your skills until you are comfortable on your board. The teachers cater to all skill levels and you'll soon be able to surf like a pro! Once you're done, wind down with a relaxing spa and massage, or take a class at one of the nearby yoga schools.

Elsewhere, Monkey Forest is a great attraction where you can take incredible pictures with these cheeky animals, or make the most out of the sunny weather and enjoy the water-slides in Bali's water-park. You'll find Bali's best shopping in malls at nearby Kuta Beach, or enjoy a traditional Balinese dance at one of the cultural centres in Ubud.

The main reason people visit Keremas is for the amazing surf, but what's really great is that you'll find plenty of other activities if you need a day out of the water. Grab a great deal on a flight to Bali, and don't forget to find a great Keremas hotel! Start planning your next beach vacation today!
