Gilimanuk
By road: 130 km (80 mi.) north-west of Denpasar on a road which skirts the coast for much of the way.
Bus and bemo: regular services daily from Denpasar-Ubung.
Gilimanuk, the most westerly town on Bali, lies on the Bali Strait, only 2.5 km (11/2 mi.) wide, between Bali and Java. It is important as a ferry and commercial port providing a link with the larger neighboring island.
Gilimanuk must be the town on Bali with the fewest tourist sights. Visitors may be interested to watch the busy activity around the harbor, centered mainly on the ferry traffic, or to visit the market held every evening in the town center, with some good hot food stalls.
