Amed refers to a chain of fishing villages located on Bali's northeast coast. Dark pebble beaches, colorful outrigger boats, and coral reefs just offshore make it a prime destination for snorkelers and divers.
Amed is the collective name for a series of small villages stretching about 15 kilometers along a winding coastal road in northeast Bali: Amed itself, Jemeluk, Bunutan, Lipah, Selang, and more. Between dry hills lie small coves with dark pebbles, where fishermen pull their outrigger boats onto the beach. Accommodations, dive schools, and warungs are loosely scattered along the road; there's no central hub. Most reefs lie directly offshore, and almost all accommodations rent snorkeling gear. On the horizon, with clear visibility, Rinjani on Lombok is visible; Agung rises behind you.

Culture & Character
Fischer und SalzbauernDie Ostküste ist eine der trockensten Gegenden Balis. Statt Reis wurde hier traditionell Salz gewonnen: In Amed trocknen Bauern Meerwasser in ausgehöhlten Palmstämmen, eine Technik, die heute nur noch wenige Familien beherrschen. Fischer fahren früh am Morgen mit ihren bunten Jukung-Booten hinaus, die Fischerei bestimmt den Alltag der Dörfer weiterhin.Der Tourismus kam spät und blieb kleinteilig. Große Hotels fehlen, und abends ist es still. Die Unterkünfte sind meist familiengeführte Bungalows an den Hängen über dem Meer.
