Amed (Bali)
Amed is a 14-km strip of fishing villages in Abang District, Karangasem Regency on the east coast (north-east side) of Bali, Indonesia.[1][2] The area name Amed is taken from one of its seven villages. The other six from west to east are Jemeluk, Bunutan, Lipah, Selang, Banyuning and Aas.
Many beaches in the area, including Amed Beach, have black volcanic sand as they are close to Mount Agung, Bali's largest volcano.[3]
Amed is an area developing for tourism while holding on to tradition. It is slowly becoming known as a destination for backpacker tourism, free diving, scuba diving, and yoga classes and teacher training.[citation needed]
Underwater off the coast, statues of both Buddha and Ganeshi have been tied with cables to stone plinths.[4]
The famous USAT Liberty Wreck is submerged in front of Tulamben, just 12 km north-west from the village of Amed.[5]
