To the north of the Bukit Peninsula is the popular beach resort of Kuta. It owes its claim to fame owes to two factors: its beach (originally Bali's best) and the sunset. The beach front is now host to many hotels, except for Legian and Seminyak, where much of the social scene is now centered. The main shops are located along Legian street. Beach bungalows first opened in Kuta in the 1930s. But mass tourism did not start here until the late 60s, when it became know as a hippie haven. Kuta soon boomed. The bamboo beach bungalows were turned into losmen and then into hotels. T-shirts sold on the beach were replaced by a thriving garment and handicraft industry. The hippies either left or struck it rich, and Kuta has become one of the most dynamic place in Indonesia. It is a place to encounter new ideas and lifestyles and a place to experience all manner of pleasures.
