Sanur is a stretch of coast about 7 km long on Bali's east side, linked end to end by a flat beachfront path that people jog, cycle and beach-hop along. The piece of it the map draws as one beach measures 3.4 km. A few warungs at Sunrise Beach serve early breakfast on the sand. July and August are the busiest months, with families and the kite festival crowds. At the northern end, Padang Galak, there are no loungers or cafés: wide sand and big waves, better for a walk than a swim.
April: the warmest sea and the fewest wet days. Book that.
