Amed, Karangasem

This sleepy town still remains untouched by the effects of tourism. With a variety of hotels and restaurants to choose from, Amed is the perfect getaway. Snorkel anywhere along the coast or sit in a restaurant and watch the dolphins playing in the waves. Look for the dive shops here if you like to dive near the Japanese shipwreck or in neighboring Tulamben. Being some of the friendliest people in Bali, the locals will give you information or just chat with you, without the intention of selling you something.
