Inexpensive Summer Holiday in Asia
This summer, pack up your swimsuit and suntan lotion bottle, and plan an inexpensive holiday to Bali – a jewel in the Indian Ocean.
In the 1930s, Bali became a hotspot for surfers, who came in from all over the world to ride the magnificent waves around the island. Since then, Bali has been a surfing spot worth visiting, with beaches that go on forever and weather that is wonderful all year round.
Because of the size of the island you will never have to look extensively to locate ideal surfing conditions, and the diversity in the surf also provides many alternatives for both veteran and fresh surfers. With its exceptional position in the Indian Ocean, the swells are magnificent year round, and are wonderful if you are looking to get in some off-season surfing.
The greatest time to stopover on the island is in July, as it is the time when water is cool and the skies are clear. From December to March there is more rain as the rainy season sets in, and so the surfing conditions are preferable on the eastern side of the island.
Medewi Beach is a wonderful surfing spot for inexperienced surfers, with restaurants next to the coast providing a substitute to surfing. Kuta Beach is good for newcomers as there are various surfing schools here that you can sign up with for lessons. You can also hire or purchase equipment on this beach. Dreamland is another surfing beach where all types of surfers will find themselves taking pleasure in the swell. Balangan is another fun beach for new surfers, with less competition and the possibility to score more waves.
The waves are very good for beginners at the above mentioned beaches. However, Bingin Beach is the one that experienced surfers flock to. Like Bingin, Uluwatu is also for experienced surfers as the waves can go as high as fifteen feet, and prove dangerous for those unprepared or inexperienced. A similar wave height is to be expected at Nusa Dua, where this danger is coupled with the sharp reef bottom that can rip apart inexperienced surfers. The surf at Canggu Beach is also great, but it is a good idea to watch out for the undertow and jagged reef that can injure those who aren’t careful. Padang is another beach for experienced surfers, with huge swells and large barrels that are both great to watch and surf.
Bali is a fun place for some inexpensive surfing action, with tourists amassing here from everywhere. Be ready to purchase or hire equipment if you don’t already have it. You will be able to take in an inexpensive vacation here with the benefit of being able to experience various kinds of waves every day.
So, if you’re looking for a surfing vacation, then this one is surely the best one for you. Not only economical, but it also offers you different surfing options so that you can totally enjoy your time here.
