I Love Bali, I love living in Jimbaran, and Nusa Dua &#8211; the rich and famous neighbour &#8211; is just 5-10 minutes away from my house.\u00a0 Just heading towards Nusa Dua, on the intersection at HARDY&#8217;S Supermarket, turn right to Siligita road, follow the road, you will see a small statue on an intersection and notice the\u00a0 sign board to Geger and Sawangan Beach direction where it will lead you to the main road on which Bali Golf Resort Nusa Dua is located, and you&#8217;ll pass one of the newest hotel in Bali : St Regis as well. Then you&#8217;ll arrive at <strong>Geger Beach<\/strong>.

So there it was, a giant ship tanker with its giant vacuum cleaner sucked up 50% of the sand and poured it all over Kuta Beach. Yay! Kuta Beach is an adopted son of Geger now, it has Geger blood aka sand in it :p<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Fishing @ Geger Beach, Nusa Dua\" src=\"http:\/\/www.risanto.com\/beeamazing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Fishing-@Geger.jpg\" alt=\"Fishing @ Geger Beach, Nusa Dua\" width=\"400\" height=\"297\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anyway, I care more about me, wanting some contemplation time and space just for my self, but was not in the mood for hidden beach adventure..and I knew I&#8217;ll find my peaceful late afternoon at Geger Beach. And although Geger now has installed more parasols, developped more cafe\/warung business not to mention a water sport activities is just in front of your long chair and parasol, still I had faith there must be one small private spot reserved for me, as Bali has a generous heart to whisper to someone&#8217;s ears about its special place to be for those longing for embracing theirself with the beauty of nature and not treating Bali as its pleasure and hedonism slave&#8230;<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" title=\"move away from\" src=\"http:\/\/www.risanto.com\/beeamazing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/move-away-from.jpg\" alt=\"you see, I'm moving away from the crowd &amp; parasols &amp; umbul umbuls..\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" \/><em>you see, I&#8217;m moving away from the crowd &amp;amp; parasols &amp; umbul umbuls..<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" title=\"My spot\" src=\"http:\/\/www.risanto.com\/beeamazing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/My-spot.jpg\" alt=\"to that spot I'd go\" width=\"400\" height=\"297\" \/><em>To that spot I&#8217;d go<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Enjoy what Geger Beach has to offer, the beautiful blue turquoise water stretched along the coastal line, but don&#8217;t stop the viewing and limit your eyes with square eyes and mind.
