LOVINA AREA Lovina Beach is located at Kalibubuk - an area that stretches for several kilo meters along Bali's northern coast to the west of Singaraja. There are a number of built-up areas with shops, stalls and restaurants. The variety of hotels and villas available for rent a numerous and are scattered over the entire length of the area. This is a part of Bali that has undergone recent development, so the choice of a place to stay or eat is increasing. Lovina is probably most famous for its reef diving and snorkeling in the mirror smooth seas, and the dolphins that often race with the tour boats. Take a walk along the beach to find a nice area away from the reef and the accommodations to find clean water for a pleasant swim when the sea is calm. Beware - rough seas are dangerous for swimming.
You will inevitably be bombarded with offers of a spectacular experience of a life time that is a view of dolphins in their own habitat - what really happens is that the boat you sit in along with maybe 8 other tourists, chase the unfortunate dolphins to distress. you may be lucky to even see them nowadays.
Dolphin watching, snorkeling, diving and boat rides are widely advertised in all the tourist areas of Bali especially in the South.
