Snorkeling, Fishing & Relaxing Beach Activities

Just a few minutes’ walk from the camp — all activities can be done right along Medewi Beach or nearby quiet coastal areas along Bali’s west coast.

Experience the Calm Side of Medewi’s Ocean

While Medewi is famous for its long surf breaks, there’s also a gentler side of the sea that invites you to slow down and connect with the ocean in a different way.
Here, the rhythm of the waves softens, and the water becomes clear enough to reveal flashes of color beneath the surface — perfect for a peaceful snorkeling session or simply floating in the shallows as the sun warms your skin.

If you’re lucky, you might spot small schools of reef fish or glimpses of coral gardens near the rocky edges of the beach, especially during high tide. For the best experience, early mornings are ideal when the water is calm and visibility is highest.

Cast a Line and Fish Like a Local

Fishing in Medewi isn’t just a pastime — it’s part of local life.
Walk down the shore in the early morning, and you’ll see Balinese fishermen preparing their traditional wooden boats called jukungs. Guests of Dikaloha can join in, learn the basics of line fishing, and even try catching snapper, mackerel, or small reef fish just offshore.

For a truly local experience, arrange a sunset fishing trip with our partners — it’s a chance to witness Bali’s golden sky meeting the Indian Ocean while you wait for a bite on the line. Whether you catch a fish or not, the view alone is worth it.

Unwind and Feel the Rhythm of the Coast

If adventure isn’t on your list for the day, Medewi’s coastline offers something just as valuable: peace.
Spread out a beach towel, sip a fresh coconut, and watch surfers carving lines under the orange glow of the evening sky. The beaches here are less crowded than Canggu or Kuta — giving you space to breathe, read, or simply listen to the sounds of the ocean.

In the late afternoon, local families often come to the beach to chat, play, or enjoy grilled corn by the roadside. Joining them gives you a glimpse into the slow, authentic lifestyle that makes this corner of Bali so special.

Tips for Visitors

• Best time: Early morning or late afternoon for calm seas and soft sunlight.
• Bring: Reef-safe sunscreen, snorkel gear, hat, and drinking water.
• Safety: Always check tides before entering the water; Medewi has some rocky areas.
• Local insight: Ask Dikaloha’s staff for the safest and most scenic spots — they know the tides and hidden corners best.

Why You’ll Love It

This is the quieter side of Bali — where life moves to the rhythm of the waves, and every moment by the ocean feels real, unfiltered, and timeless.

Whether you’re snorkeling, fishing, or simply lying back under the palms, you’ll discover that sometimes, the best adventures are the slow ones.
