Inexpensive Summer Holiday in Asia
This summer, pick up your swimsuit and suntan lotion bottle, and book a cheap vacation to Bali – a jewel in the Indian Ocean.
In the 1930s, Bali became a trendy place for surfers, who came in from every country to experience the amazing waves around the island. Since that time, Bali has been a surfer’s manna waiting to be experienced, with beaches that never end and weather that is perfect all year round.
Due to the size of the island you will never have to look far to find perfect surfing conditions, and the variety in the surf also provides great options for both veteran and new surfers. With its unique location in the Indian Ocean, the swells are wonderful year round, and are perfect 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 great surfing spot for less experienced surfers, with restaurants lining the coast providing an alternative to surfing. Kuta Beach is great for newcomers as there are many surfing schools here that you can sign up with for lessons. You can also rent or buy equipment on this beach. Dreamland is another surfing beach where all kinds of surfers will find themselves enjoying the swell. Balangan is another great beach for new surfers, with less competition and the potential to score more waves.
The waves are very nice for new surfers at the above mentioned beaches. On the other hand, Bingin Beach is the one that skilled surfers gather on. Like Bingin, Uluwatu is also for veteran surfers as the waves can go as high as fifteen feet, and prove hazardous for those unqualified or raw. A comparable wave height is to be accepted at Nusa Dua, where this hazard is together with the razor-sharp reef bottom that can tear apart inexpert surfers. The surf at Canggu Beach is also great, but it is a good idea to look out for the undertow and uneven reef that can harm those who aren’t cautious. Padang is another beach for knowledgeable surfers, with massive swells and great barrels that are both fun to watch and surf.
Bali is a great spot for some cheap surfing action, with tourists thronging here from all over the world. Be prepared to buy or rent equipment if you don’t already have it. You will be able to enjoy a cheap budget holiday here with the advantage of being able to experience different kinds of waves every day.
So, if you’re looking for a surfing vacation, then this one is surely planned for you. Not only cheap, but it also provides you with plenty of surfing options so that you can thoroughly enjoy your time here.
