Merese Hills and it's Beaches

Twenty minutes from home and about the same distance from Kuta is Tanjung Aan Beach. As well as being arguably the most beautiful beach in the area, Tanjung Aan has something else going for it, Merese hills, a headland of small hills that make up the West side of the bay. They can be walked to from the beach or accessed from the road at the back of the beach which ends at a 'car park' (get your 5k out). There are many access paths up to the top, the main one being from the car park, and it's only a ten minute walk up to the highest elevation. Once you're up there you'll see that it's not just any old hill, it's an explorers dream! Set off in any direction and you'll be rewarded with incredible views and find unspoiled beaches everywhere. Here's some pics, all within 10 - 15 minutes walk, to whet your appetite for some exploration.
