Candidasa Beach, which I've written about several times before, is truly a beautiful spot. The blue water, palm trees, black sandy shore, and colorful boats with outriggers make for a picturesque scene.
I walked to the beach along a very narrow road in front of a hotel called Puri Bagus Candi Dasa. I was there to pick up some clients for a trip, but since I had a little time to spare, I decided to explore the area.
As I arrived at the beach, I saw a boat coming in from the water. It had about three or four fishermen on board, and once they landed, they started unloading their catch—mostly cobs.
A group of women were waiting to collect the fish, placing the cobs into baskets to sell. The price? Incredibly cheap—just 20 cents per cob. I thought about buying some to cook at home, but then imagined the smell of fish in an air-conditioned car all day—definitely not practical. So, I passed on that idea.
Instead, I decided to simply enjoy the beautiful view of Candidasa Beach, soaking in the scenery since I couldn’t take home the fresh catch.
Maybe I will comeback some other time, when I don't go on trip with client just to buy the cheap fish. But, then again, it is rather foolish to travel 2 hours from my place just to buy the fish. Well, any way, just enjoy the beautiful beach.
Your beach is so beautiful it looks very clean and the water is clear blue
What an amazing beach, the fish is fresh, here it is called "Ikan Kembung" It is tasty if we cook with chilli sauce.
I love how the fishes are.
So, you can't blame someone coming there to buy these fishes.
They looks quality.
Thanks, I've marked it on my map :-)
