The atmosphere of this coast was very natural.
The coastal lip was decorated palm plants and gubug-gubug had a roof of the dry leaves.
Coral in the rise and fall territory of the coast then still was treated.
The crashing of the wave was still reflecting the blue colour marked sea water that often was not yet dirtiest.

With the atmosphere, was not wrong when the regional government and the planned investor made this coast the Kuta Coast of the two.
