Amed refers to a long stretch of coast running from the village of Culik about 14 km eastwards incorporating the seven villages of Amed, Jemeluk, Bunutan, Lipah, Selang, Banyuning and Aas. The pace of life here is slow and the coastal scenery quite stunning making Amed a beautiful place to visit.

Stopping to visit some beautiful temple grounds between Ubud and Amed.
We spent hours combing the beach for beautiful little seashells and sea glass. There was so much sea glass on the beach, that we ended up with a couple bags full, and of course the kids wanted to bring some of it home!
Amed Sari Beach Guesthouse - right on the beach.
Most beautiful breakfast location with delicious pandan-banana pancakes, fresh fruit and coffee.
Breakfast location - doesn't get much better than this!
The walkway from our room to the beach.
The view from our homestay.
The people in Amed live from fishing, salt-making and tourism. The fishing boats go out to sea every morning and every evening. The people of the town told us that they have noticed a significant decline of fish over the last few years, and they have to go further and stay out longer to make their catch.
The homestay pig, and Eva's new friend.
Warung Osin, a small family run restaurant that made a variety of tasty local dishes.
This is possibly one of the best places we have eaten on our travels. Some of the dishes we tried:
Ayam nenas - chicken pineapple and cinnamon
Cumi cumi a sum manis - sweet and sour squid
Ikan kelap - mahi mahi with ginger lemongrass in coconut milk

It was so delicious we returned 2 nights in a row.
Diving in Tulamben Bay. Tulamben is a small fishing village on the north-east coast of Bali, not far from Amed. It is among the most popular dive sites on Bali since the wreck of the Liberty, a US Army Transport ship torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in 1942 lies just off shore.
We saw a wide variety of fish, including several turtles, garden eels and stingrays.
Our first time diving at a shipwreck. It was really interesting.
After our day of diving, we spent a day relaxing and snorkeling in Jemeluk Bay. It was an absolute highlight, with loads of fish and beautiful coral formations accessible right off the beach. We saw rock fish, a sea snake and hundreds of colorful fish of all sizes.
Leaving Amed, the coutryside was lush and green. Breathtaking.
Driving from Amed to Balangan, we passed people gathering for some celebrations and offerings.
