The land gently slopes away from the beach revealing exclusive celebrity haunts hidden under a canopy of leafy tropical forest. Tourism in Jimbaran has increased rapidly over recent years and this has boosted the local economy of this Former fishing village and Jimbaran is now home to three five-star beach resorts and a number of villa complexes.  Recently Jimbaran has become a popular location for foreigners to build private villas.

Jimbaran is home to a number of grilled seafood restaurants, packed together all in a row along two stretches of beach. The tables are set up right on the sand, and if you sit in the lowest tables near high tide, you can find your feet getting wet. The sea breeze is cool, and the sunsets are beautiful. The area is lit by torches after dark.

The restaurants all serve essentially the same menu with one basic dining format: fire-grilled seafood (your choice of various fish, crab, squid, shrimp, lobster, and shellfish); a local vegetable known loosely as water spinach, steamed with garlic; rice; and local sauces. You can go up to the seafood tanks near the kitchen and choose the number and type of seafood you want, paying by weight, or just order from the menu and they will serve up a standard amount.

Prices are reasonable. Dinner for two, with local Bintang beer or soft drinks, costs in the range of Rp 120,000 - 250,000 depending on quantity and type of seafood selected. The crab and red snapper are especially good. The combination of atmosphere and good food make this a memorable and delightful place to spend an evening. Popular with both locals and visitors, it can get very busy at mealtimes!
