Until the 1970s Candidasa was just a small fishing village but now it is the favorite alternative to the busy beaches of Kuta and Sanur.
The beaches are volcanic and the islands directly off Candidasa offer excellent snorkeling and diving, while the village itself is still quiet and offers alternative restaurant options to your hotel.
Candidasa is also a good base from which to explore Eastern Bali.
