The thing to see at Amed is under water. At Jemeluk Bay there is a working postbox on the seabed, several statues and a small temple-like structure. The beach above it is volcanic pebble: smooth stones the size of grapefruit, slippery and uneven where you walk in. Most of the warungs have basic freshwater showers for customers. There is almost no proper parking for cars, so the usual advice is to be dropped off and walk down. It is two and a half to three hours from Ubud or Canggu.
Warmest sea in November. Fewest wet days in August. Pick your fight.
