On June 3rd and 4th we stayed in Padang Bai, a small village in Southeast Bali. Padang Bai is a great snorkeling area. There is a small beach, called Blue Lagoon that has an amazing reef that can be accessed right off the beach. So if you have your own snorkeling equipment (or just goggles, like Leslie and I use), then it is a free snorkeling trip. The reef has an abundance of sea life. There were around 20 different colorful, tropical fish, eels, and lots of cool coral. We saw an eel and a fish get in a fight over a hole in the coral. Then the eel swam right under Leslie...that was pretty exciting. We had lunch in a warung overlooking the lagoon, sipping juice from a young, fresh coconut. In the evening we found another beach that is hidden behind a construction site. The landscape of the beach was beautiful, surrounded by volcanic rocks and lush vegetation. The waves were rough and choppy and when they slapped against the rocks they sprayed water high into the air, misting us with salt. Within the rocks were small tide pools that had some really interesting creatures. There were these little silver fish that could jump from one tide pool to another, and some funny green crabs that jumped around like frogs. Overall. Leslie and I really liked Padang Bai. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes marine life or beautiful beaches!
