    Most visitors to Padang Bai are there to catch a boat to [wiki=e9c005061431ef540838658e74a74c49]Lombok[/wiki] and sadly miss out on a charming little place in its own right. People who do give it a chance often cancel their trip in order to spend more time in this lovely village. Spending a night or two here will certainly not be time wasted.

    There is good diving and snorkeling in the immediate area, and a number of operators are present to cater for those activities. This is also a fairly convenient base from which to explore some of the wider attractions of [wiki=064c243ebe4f5af5d2e7de25a9fff068]East Bali[/wiki]. Accommodation tends to be quite basic and aimed at the backpacker market, but there are more upmarket options in town.

    It's a great place to relax, enjoy the beach and eat fish!

    • By boat

      There are slow public ferries from [wiki=c482028ae3c605080ae484f3613fe478]Lembar[/wiki] ([wiki=e9c005061431ef540838658e74a74c49]Lombok[/wiki]) every hour, 24 hours a day. The trip normally takes four hours (but it can be considerably longer in poor weather) and costs Rp 44,000. Ferry staff often offer their private room to tourists for an extra Rp 50,000. The room is clean and comfortable with 2 or 3 beds. No evidence has been provided to support the assertion that the state slow ferry between Bali and Lombok has a poor safety standard - if one turns one's mind to it, it seems logical that a small private 'fast' vessel is far more likely to sink than a very large one. There is a ticket office, waiting area and small cafe adjacent to the pier.

      Perama [url=http://www.peramatour.com]]runs daily cruises from [[Lombok[/url]] (Rp 200,000) and the [wiki=69022f238b596e1c6fb58ef8fa8dbc53]Gili Islands[/wiki] (Rp 300,000) to Padang Bai one way.

    • Beaches

      The main beach is not ideal for bathing and is somewhat littered, though not unattractive for a town beach which functions as a ferry terminal. It is generally awash with colorful double outrigger fishing boats in the shape of a marlin. The front of the boat is shaped with the point of its mouth open wide and large eyes looking to the heavens. Either side of the main beach are two other hidden coves with nice, quiet white sand beaches:

      * Blue Lagoon Beach is a pleasant, small covey beach, great for snorkeling. To reach it from the main strip walk to the left end of the main beach and take the road that climbs upwards to the left at the end of the strip, follow it up and around for about 2-3 minutes and you will see the small car park with a couple of stalls and a sign down beach. The coral reef is right up to the shore and is very pretty. Best way is to enter on the far left side, where there is a coral-less canal that leads to the snorkling site. There are two restaurants with reasonable food, showers (out of action July 2014), chairs and snorkeling gear. The beach is easily accessible. To reach Blue Lagoon Beach, head east on foot over the prominent headland at the eastern end of the main bay. Follow the signs that say Blue Lagoon. Note that wading through the water can be both frustrating and dangerous due to an abundance of coral and submerged rocks.

      Be aware, if the water is high, there is no place for laying around at the beach. Sadly the left dry place is occupied by the two warungs. Also there can also be a lot of plastic trash on the beach and in the water at times, when the tide and wind wash up litter from out at sea.

      * Bias Tugal Beach, also called Pantai Kecil (Little Beach) or The White Sand Beach, is a beautiful white sandy beach and the best beach in Padang Bai. Good for swimming, though the currents can be strong. There are several restaurants, but they are not very good. The beach is surrounded by a monstrous, unfinished resort. To reach the secluded Bias Tegul Beach, walk from the police station for 100 metres up the hill. Directly after Bamboo Paradise turn left (there's a sign that says Bias Tegul) and climb the steep hill along a construction road for about 5 minutes and then descend. Be careful going down on the hillside track. While descending - weather permitting - you should be able to see the largest mountain on Bali, [wiki=01e383e35eb5847d4ab1d73fbbc41838]Mount Agung[/wiki] on your left - a powerful sight. If you continue over the hill and follow the road, you will eventually come to a long, white sand beach.

    • Temples

      If you need a break from the beaches, there are some temples to discover. These are not especially notable temples, but still worth a visit. Padang Bai has five major temples: Pura Dalem, located downtown, Pura Segara, located next to the beach in between town and the main beach, Pura Telagamas, Pura Silayukti and Pura Tanjungsari in the eastern end of Padang Bai. Of the five Pura Silayukti is the most notable, having been the home of the great Hindu sage Empu Kuturan and dating back to the 11th century, making it one of the oldest extant temples on the island. Just walk along the beach road to the end and up around the headland. Don't forget to bring a sarong and a sash.

      *Silayukti Temple [http://padang-bai.com/pura-luhur-silayukti-silayukti-holy-temple/], Pura Khayangan Jagat Pura Luhur Silayukti, located in the village Padangbay, Manggis Karangasem district, at an altitude of 25 m from the sea surface. This temple can be reached by motorcycle or car. Mileage from the district of Karangasem to this temple about 26 km, and about 55 km from Denpasar. The history of Pura Luhur Silayukti, related with a supreme pandhitaMpu Kuturan of religion named Siwa Buddha. He came to Bali is expected by the end of the 10th century.

    • Snorkeling

      There is good snorkeling in the bay, though the snorkeling at the Blue Lagoon or White Sand Beach is much better. Beware of the current and remember basic safety rules, such as never to snorkel alone and not to swim to far off in a place that you do not know.

      Several small shops in the main street of Padang Bai rent snorkeling equipment. They can also organise traditional jukung boats to bring you to the best spots and greatly increase your safety.

      On a calm day expect lots of fish and great visibility.
