Salt on the lip, warm boat timber underfoot and a shallow reef that unspools like a living map — Blue Lagoon at Padangbai introduces visitors to Bali’s eastern shore with directness. The water here is clear enough that the reef reads like a page: branching hard corals, gardens of plate coral and pockets where clownfish and angelfish patrol the crevices. A skilled guide puts you into that scene, pointing out turtles easing over sand and the puffers that peer as you pass.
