Places to see in Nusa Dua

The watersports strip north of Nusa Dua — parasailing, jetskis and banana boats off a sheltered bay.

Balinese rijsttafel in Tanjung Benoa from the cookbook author who documented the island's home cooking. The set menu is the way in.

White-sand beach below the resort strip, with seaweed farms worked at its southern end.

The long raked main beach of the resort enclave, calm and safe to swim because the reef takes the surf well offshore.

Seafood restaurant at Tanjung Benoa, the local alternative to eating inside a resort.

Small cove under the cliffs at the southern end of Nusa Dua, reached by a long stair down from the resort above.

Daytime cafe near Bualu doing breakfast, bagels and burgers away from the resort gates.

Malaysian kitchen in Nusa Dua open from late morning to late evening — laksa and noodle plates rather than hotel buffet food.

Buddhist temple on the ridge above Nusa Dua, with a wide view over the bay.

Point on the headland where swell funnels into a rock channel and bursts vertically over the walkway.

Clifftop temple above Geger beach, looking back along the Nusa Dua coast.
