West Bali is the least populated and least visited region of Bali. The West Bali National Park and a huge area of protected reserve, much of which is completely uninhabited, dominate it. The north and south coasts of this region offer quiet beaches. Those in the north fringe have calm seas and are excellent for diving and snorkeling. The southern beaches are wilder and include a number of renowned surfing spots. The town of Gilimanuk on the very westernmost tip of Bali is the departure point for ferries to Java.
