Discover Jimbaran Bay

Foodies enjoy exploring the Morning Market, which 6 am to 3 pm, and the Fish Market, open from 6 am to 12 noon.
While the morning market offers some of the best produce on the island, the fish market offers a staggering array of freshly caught seafood.
Not surprisingly, numerous seafood cafes line Jimbaran Beach. And some of Bali’s most sumptuous resorts are perched atop nearby cliffs.
