BARracuda

A Laid-back Amed Beach Bar with Black Sand and Mount Agung Views

East Bali

Updated October 13, 2026
Venue highlights

Relax on Amed’s shoreline with sea and Mount Agung views from loungers or tables. Enjoy Balinese food and drinks between beach activities or around sunset.

01

BARracuda

Amed|Bars & lounges

BARracuda is a simple beach bar attached to a hostel on Amed’s dark shoreline. There is no pool: the attraction is the sea, wooden tables, loungers and Balinese food with reasonably priced drinks. Mount Agung rises beyond the coastline as afternoon turns to evening. Ask the staff for seating on arrival; contact the venue ahead for a group or a particular seating preference.

02

Entrance and Overall Vibe

Colourful flags, thatched umbrellas and wooden furniture create an informal beachfront setting. Seats sit on the dark, pebbly shore, with more tables on the paved area by the bar. This is a place for a seaside break and a meal rather than a large pool club. Hostel rooms and dormitory beds are separate from bar seating.

Pool, Beach and Daytime Flow

There is no swimming pool. Relax by the sea, walk along the shore or consider snorkelling when conditions allow. The beach is stony, so watch your footing and check waves, currents and a suitable entry point before swimming. Equipment and towels are not automatically included with food or drinks; bring what you need or ask the staff.

04

Seat Types and Minimum Spend

Seating includes beachfront sunloungers, folding deckchairs, beanbags and tables for dining. Seats are generally first come, first served, with food and drinks ordered à la carte. Layout and shade vary; tell the staff your preference before settling in.

Recommended Time to Visit

Daytime suits a relaxed seaside break; late afternoon brings changing sky colours around Mount Agung. Choose shade during strong sunshine and arrive before dark for the evening views. Clouds affect mountain visibility. If staying into the evening, check closing time and arrange your return transport.
