Amed is a long strip of fishing villages in the Eastern Bali.
To know
Amed is a city made up of several villages on the east coast of Bali: Culik, Jemeluk, Bunutan, Lipah, Selang, Banyuning is Aas. The flow of life here is slow and the coastal geography is incredible. A perfect place for a relaxing holiday and has become a tourist center in very recent times; it must be thought that the asphalt on the road was laid for the first time in 2000, the telephone lines were installed in 2003 and the bridge that runs over the stretch of road continuously flooded by rain was finished in 2007.
This is the base usually used by visitors who want to dive to see the wreck of the USAT Liberty Wreck a Tulamben. There are also other good places to dive, so the diving industry here is very thriving.
The locals live mainly from fishing, salt production and tourism. Due to the hostile environment to agriculture this was the poorest place in Bali and thanks to various projects, including the East Bali Poverty Project which have drawn attention to the critical situation of the inhabitants, together with recent development, have greatly improved the situation, the quality of life, health and local education.

What see
The beaches of Amed are dotted with traditional fishing boats (mainly Indonesian, Balinese are rarer) and provide a beautiful backdrop for photographic occasions, as well as sometimes making walking a little more difficult. They are made up of black lava stones and moving away from Mount Agung they become a little more sandy. The most beautiful bays are in Jemeluk and Lipah although the whole coast is very beautiful.
The production of salt it is in decline but is still an important industry in the area. Driving along the coast passing the villages you will be able to see large plots encrusted with salt. The boxes of Bali salt crystals that can be bought in grocery stores around the world begin their long journey here.
There sea life here it is in turmoil near the coast made of crystal clear waters.

Some operators are based here where all hotels have their own dive center or are associated with one.

The USAT Liberty was a US Army transport ship torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1942. The wreck is located approximately 30m from shore and is covered in soft coral.

How to keep in touch
Telephony
Le linee telefoniche sono limitate in questa zona e molti alberghi hanno soltanto una linea fissa. È consigliabile portarsi un telefono cellulare. Le SIM indonesiane si possono comprare in moltissimi posti in tutta Bali. C'è un ufficio con telefono pubblico alla spiaggia di Lipah vicino all'albergo Coral View.
Internet
La copertura internet non esisteva fino a poco tempo fa ed oggi va significativamente meglio e molti alberghi stanno investendo sulle linee private ADSL. Servizi di internet pubbica sono disponibili all'Amed Cafe, ad Amed, oppure a Lipah vicino all'Hidden Paradise oppure all'Anda Amed a Bunutan. La copertura sta migliorando molto comunque e i visitatori dovrebbero fare attenzione ai cartelli che segnalano la presenza di internet cafe.
Around
- La spiaggia di Lovina nel nord di Bali, è un'atra ottima destinazione per ulteriore tranquillità al mare.
- Padang Bai è una buona fermata e un buon posto per imbarcarsi verso Lombok.
Un viaggio verso il sud di Bali dovrebbe impiegare circa 2 ore e mezzo.
