Be mindful of the tides! I didn't pay attention and ended up getting my shoes soaked. It’s better to check beforehand so you don’t have wet feet all day.

I suggest visiting Goa Cemara Beach in the morning, around 7 AM. The sunrise is breathtaking and there are fewer crowds, so it's perfect for some quiet time.

If you’re into photography, golden hour around 5 PM is magical! I got some stunning shots, just be ready to share the space with other photographers.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The local warungs are great, but they can get pricey compared to grocery stores nearby.

I recommend checking out the beach at sunset around 5:30 PM. The views are stunning and you can grab a drink at a beach club while watching the sky change colors.

If you're planning to surf, I suggest renting a board from a local shop instead of the beach vendors. It's usually cheaper and the boards are in better condition!

Be prepared for the sand to get hot around noon! I wish I had brought flip flops instead of walking barefoot, it was a bit uncomfortable.

I think you should take a stroll along the beach to the left... There's a quieter part with fewer crowds and it's perfect for some peaceful sunbathing

If you're looking for a chill beach day, I'd suggest you hit Kuta Beach around 4 PM. The crowds start thinning out, and the sunset views are unreal.

Try getting a local SIM card when you get to the airport. It's a lifesaver for navigation and communication, and you can find great deals if you shop around a bit!

I think going in the early morning around 7 AM is the best! The beach is less crowded, and you can catch the stunning sunrise. You'll get some great photos without too many people in the shot.

I suggest packing some water shoes; the sand can get really hot in the afternoon. I ended up hopping around trying to find a shady spot because I didn't bring any. Trust me, your feet will thank you

My advice is to check out the local warungs for food. They’re much cheaper than the fancy beach restaurants, and the local dishes are a must-try. I loved the grilled fish; it was super fresh!

Make sure you bring cash! Some of the local stalls only accept cash, and it’s hard to find ATMs nearby. I learned this the hard way when I wanted to buy some snacks and had to walk quite a distance to find one.

I suggest visiting during the late afternoon before sunset. The vibe is amazing, and you get some incredible views without the midday heat.

Don’t forget your reef shoes. The rocky entrance can be tough on bare feet, and wearing them will make your day a lot more enjoyable.

Make sure to bring cash! Some beach clubs and food stalls only accept cash, and the ATMs can have long lines or be out of service

If you’re looking to rent a board, check around instead of just the first rental shop. Prices can vary a lot, and some places offer better gear for cheaper!

I recommend packing some snacks and drinks, coz buying them on the beach can empty your wallet fast. I stuffed a few beach-friendly snacks in my bag and saved a ton!

If you’re into water sports, I think you should negotiate prices with vendors; they’re often flexible. I got a much better deal on snorkeling by just asking a few different places.

Try the local warungs for meals instead of the beachfront restaurants. They’re way cheaper and have authentic Balinese flavors.

Bring some local currency for small purchases like snacks or water. Many beach vendors and small shops might not accept cards.

If you’re into water sports, ask for bundled deals at the beach. Negotiating can save you some cash compared to fixed prices.
