Amed Beach

Amed Beach is a coastal area in Amed village, Abang District, Karangasem Regency, eastern Bali, Indonesia. Stretching along the Bali Sea with views of Mount Agung, it is known for its dark volcanic sand and pebbles, traditional outrigger fishing boats, and calm waters. The area is notable as a snorkeling and diving destination with coral reefs and the nearby Japanese shipwreck, and as a traditional fishing and salt-farming community.

Visitors can expect a long stretch of dark volcanic sand and pebble beach lined with colorful traditional jukung outrigger boats. The setting is quiet and scenic with views of Mount Agung across calm, clear waters. The shoreline is used by fishing boats and small dive operations. Visitors can explore the beachfront, swim and snorkel over nearshore coral reefs, watch sunrise, and see local fishing and salt-making activity. The area is spread across several small bays with warungs, dive centers and accommodation behind the beach.

Amed developed as a traditional fishing and salt-producing coastal settlement in eastern Karangasem. Offshore lies the wreck of a Japanese patrol ship from World War II, now a popular dive site, reflecting the area's wartime maritime history.

The beach reflects Balinese coastal fishing culture, with traditional jukung boats, hand-made salt production, and a community where fishing remains a primary livelihood alongside tourism. The shoreline and sea are part of daily community life and local Hindu coastal traditions.
