Jimbaran is a traditional Balinese fishing village that that has developed into a thriving centre for tourists. Located in the neck of the Peninsula near the international airport Jimbaran is famous for its fresh seafood, luxury resort accommodation and sandy beaches. Visitors can treat themselves to sumptuous seafood meals for extremely reasonable prices including the local specialty, lobster. Typically visitors choose from a big selection of live seafood that is then cooked over burning coconut husks rather than charcoal.
As Jimbaran is a working fishing village the tourists can watch the locals bringing in and organising their catch early in the morning. As is typical of most tourist areas of Bali there is a wide range of shops, restaurants and bars and other shops available around the beach strip, making Jimbaran an attractive and easy destination to unwind and spoil yourself.
