Lining up of busy losmen and hotels with the depleted shady sea makes Lovina one of the most stirring beaches in Bali.
Tranquility, incredible under water world and dolphins are the magnetism of Lovina. From Lovina, visiting Pulau Menjangan, which is a part of West Bali National Park will be interesting for diving lover.
