Jembrana, a regency in West Bali, offers nature tourism, beaches, and religious sites that are just as interesting, even though it is less crowded than southern Bali. Accommodation here is generally affordable, with options such as homestays, beach resorts, and simple hotels located near tourist attractions. Medewi Beach is well known for its big waves for surfing and its exotic black sand, while Candikusuma Beach is suitable for swimming, with clear water and a religious atmosphere from the legendary keris monument. Besides the beaches, West Bali National Park offers savanna trekking, Bali starling bird watching, and beautiful tropical forest scenery.
