Every rainy season, the ocean brings a lot of debris, including plastic, to Bali's coasts. To ensure guests feel safe and can relax comfortably, authorities are proactively taking measures to clean the beaches and inform tourists.
Special attention is given to the most popular areas — Samigita Beach (from Kuta through Legian to Seminyak) and Jimbaran Bay, where waste accumulation is usually the most visible. These locations are particularly popular during the Christmas and New Year holidays, when the island sees the most visitors.
According to forecasts, the peak of the rains is expected between January and February 2026. To prepare, municipal services and environmental organizations are already launching additional cleanup programs. For major operations, special teams from the Badung district and volunteers will be deployed, and regular cleanups are being organized.
Acting head of Kuta's tourism rescue service, I Wayan Somer, noted that the main task of rescuers is to ensure the safety and comfort of tourists. 'We remind you that swimming is only allowed in areas marked with red and yellow flags. A red flag signifies a ban on swimming,' he explained.
Rescuers undergo regular training, and their posts always remain centers of assistance and information for tourists. Additionally, visitors are advised to ask hotels, surf schools, and local vendors about safe and maintained beach areas.
Thus, despite seasonal natural challenges, Bali's authorities strive to create the most comfortable conditions for tourists and demonstrate that caring for guests remains the island's top priority.
