Best stops in East Bali by car
- Lempuyang temple ("Gates of Heaven"): go very early; queues for photos build quickly.
- Tirta Gangga water palace and Taman Ujung: easy parking, lovely in the morning light.
- Tulamben: the USAT Liberty wreck, reachable from the beach.
- Candidasa & Padang Bai: quiet beaches and boats to the Gilis and Lombok.

Fuel stations are fewer in the east — fill up before the last stretch to Amed. More in driving costs in Bali.
