About Amed
Amed is a village on the north-east coast of Bali, in Abang District of Karangasem Regency. The tourism industry uses its name for a 14 km stretch of coast that takes in several other villages, from west to east Amed, Jemeluk, Bunutan, Lipah, Lehan, Selang, Banyuning, Aas and Kusambi. Many beaches along this coast, Amed Beach among them, have black volcanic sand because they lie close to Mount Agung, Bali's largest volcano.

What's inside
The east point of Bali, including the Amed area, is particularly rich in marine life, and parts of this coast became a Marine Protected Area in 2017. Amed has become known for free diving and scuba diving. The best-known site nearby is the USAT Liberty wreck, which lies off Tulamben about 12 km north-west of the village of Amed. Local groups have also set up the Lipah Bay Coral Nursery to support the protection of the coral reefs.
